You are investigating the expansion of your business and have sought out two avenues for the sourcing of funds for the expansion. The first (Plan A) is an all-ordinary-share capital structure. $1 million would be raised by selling 200,000 shares at $5 each. Plan B would involve the use of financial leverage. $800,000 would be raised issuing bonds with an effective interest rate of 15% (per annum). Under this second plan, the remaining $200,000 would be raised by selling 40,000 shares at $5 price per share. The use of financial leverage is considered to be a permanent part of the firm's capitalisation, so no fixed maturity date is needed for the analysis. A 30% tax rate is appropriate for the analysis. REQUIRED: a) Find the EBIT indifference level associated with the two financing plans using an EBIT-EPS graph. Check your results algebraically. b) A detailed financial analysis of the firm's prospects suggests that the long-term earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) will be $100,000 annually. Taking this into consideration, which plan will generate the higher earnings per share (EPS)? c) Briefly explain the primary weakness of EBIT-EPS analysis as a financing decision tool.

You are working in the Finance Department of Ranch Manufacturing, and your supervisor has asked you to compute the appropriate discount rate to use when evaluating the purchase of new packaging equipment for the plant. Under the assumption that the firm’s present capital structure reflects the appropriate mix of capital sources for the firm, you have determined the market value of the firm’s capital structure as follows: Bonds $4,000,000 Preferred stocks $2,000,000 Common Stock $6,000,000 To finance the purchase, Ranch Manufacturing will sell 10-year bonds paying interest at a rate of 7 percent per year (with interest paid semi-annually) at the market price of $1,050. Preferred stock paying a $2.00 dividend can be sold for $25. Common stock for Ranch Manufacturing is currently selling for $55 per share, and the firm paid a $3 dividend last year. Dividends are expected to continue growing at a rate of 5 percent per year for the indefinite future. If the firm’s tax rate is 30…
