Consider a firm with an EBITDA of $1,100,000 and an EBIT of $1,000,000. The firm finances its assets with $4,640,000 debt (costing 8.4 percent, all of which is tax deductible) and 214,000 shares of stock selling at $12 per share. To reduce risk associated with this financial leverage, the firm is considering reducing its debt by $2,640,000 by selling additional shares of stock. The firm’s tax rate is 21 percent. The change in capital structure will have no effect on the operations of the firm. Thus, EBIT will remain at $1,000,000. Calculate the EPS before and after the change in capital structure and indicate changes in EPS.

You are considering a stock investment in one of two firms (NoEquity, Inc., and NoDebt, Inc.), both of which operate in the same industry and have identical operating income of $32.5 million. NoEquity, Inc., finances its $65 million in assets with $64 million in debt (on which it pays 10 percent interest annually) and $1 million in equity. NoDebt, Inc., finances its $65 million in assets with no debt and $65 million in equity. Both firms pay a tax rate of 30 percent on their taxable income. Calculate the net income and return on assets for the two firms. Return on assets = net income / total assets Accounting equation: total assets = total liabilities debt + total equity

Three companies that subcontract with automobile manufacturers have the fol- lowing debt and equity capital amounts and D-E mixes. Assume all equity capital is in the form of stock. Assume the annual revenue is $15 million for each corporation and that, after debt service is considered, the net incomes are $14.4, $13.4, and $10.0 million, respectively. Compute the return on stock for each company, and comment on the return relative to the D-E mixes.
