Answer to Problem 6QP

The highest EPS is in the all-equity plan and the lowest EPS is in Plan II.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Company C is comparing two various capital structures: Plan I and Plan II. The first plan will result in $8,500 shares of stock and $361,000 in debt. The second plan will result in $12,000 shares of stock and $228,000 in debt. The rate of interest on debt is 10%. The EBIT is $61,000. The plan of equity will result in the stock outstanding of $18,000 shares.

Formula to calculate the payment of interest:

Interest payment=Debt issued× Rate of interest

Compute the payment of interest:

Interest payment under Plan I=Debt issued× Rate of interest=$361,000×0.10=$36,100

Hence, the payment of interest under Plan I is $36,100.

Compute the payment of interest:

Interest payment under Plan II=Debt issued× Rate of interest=$228,000×0.10=$22,800

Hence, the payment of interest under Plan II is $22,800.

Formula to calculate the NI (Net Income):

NI=EBITInterest

Compute NI for each plan:

NI for Plan I=EBITInterest=$61,00036,100=$24,900

Hence, the net income under Plan I is $24,900.

NI for Plan II=EBITInterest=$61,00022,800=$38,200

Hence, the net income under Plan II is $38,200.

Formula to compute the EPS:

Earnings per share=EBITOutstanding shares

Compute the EPS:

Earnings per share under Plan I=NIOutstanding shares=$24,9008,500 shares=$2.93

Hence, the EPS for plan I is $2.93.

Earnings per share under Plan II=NIOutstanding shares=$38,20012,000 shares=$3.18

Hence, the EPS for plan II is $3.18.

Earnings per share under Plan III=NIOutstanding shares=$61,00018,000 shares=$3.39

Hence, the EPS for plan III is $3.39.

Table showing the income statement under each plan:

I II All-equity
EBIT $61,000 $61,000 $61,000
Interest 36,100 22,800 0
NI $24,900 $38,200 $61,000
EPS $2.93 $3.18 $3.39

Hence, the all-equity plan has the highest EPS and the lowest EPS is in Plan II.

Answer to Problem 6QP

The break-even level of EBIT is $68,400 for both the plans compared to the all-equity plan.

Explanation of Solution

The break-even level of EBIT happens, when the plans of capitalization lead to same EPS. Thus, the formula to compute EPS is as follows:

Formula to calculate the break-even level of EBIT:

EPS=(EBITRDD)Outstanding shares

Where,

RDD denotes the payment of interest.

The above equation computes the payment of interest (RDD) and subtracts it from EBIT, which gives the net income. The net income divided by outstanding shares gives the EPS. The interest is zero for all-equity plan. To compute the break-even level of EBIT for Plan I and all-equity plan, set the equations equalizing each other.

Equation to solve for break-even level of EBIT under Plan I:

EPS=(EBITRDD)Outstanding shares=EBIT0.10($361,000)$8,500

Equation to solve for break-even level of EBIT under all equity plan:

EPS=EBITOutstanding shares=EBIT$18,000

Solve the above two equations:

EBIT$18,000=EBIT0.10($361,000)$8,500$8,500EBIT=$18,000EBIT$649,800,000$18,000EBIT+$8,500EBIT=$649,800,000

$9,500EBIT=$649,800,000EBIT=$68,400

Hence, the break-even level of EBIT between Plan I and all-equity plan is $68,400.

Equation to solve for break-even level of EBIT under Plan II:

EPS=(EBITRDD)Outstanding shares=EBIT0.10($228,000)$12,000

Solve the above equation with the equation of all-equity plan:

EBIT$18,000=EBIT0.10($228,000)$12,000$12,000EBIT=$18,000EBIT$410,400,000$18,000EBIT+$12,000EBIT=$410,400,000

$6,000EBIT=$410,400,000EBIT=$68,400

Hence, the break-even level of EBIT between Plan II and all-equity plan is $68,400.

Answer to Problem 6QP

Ignoring the taxes, the EPS will be identical for both the firms, when EBIT is $68,400.

Explanation of Solution

Equation to solve for break-even level of EBIT under Plan I:

EPS=(EBITRDD)Outstanding shares=EBIT0.10($361,000)$8,500

Equation to solve for break-even level of EBIT under Plan II:

EPS=(EBITRDD)Outstanding shares=EBIT0.10($228,000)$12,000

Solve the above two equations:

EBIT0.10($361,000)$8,500=EBIT0.10($228,000)$12,000$12,000EBIT$193,800,000=$8,500EBIT$433,200,000$8,500EBIT+$12,000EBIT=$239,400,000

$3,500EBIT=$239,400,000EBIT=$68,400

Hence, the break-even level of EBIT between two plans is $68,400.

Answer to Problem 6QP

With taxes, again EPS is highest in the all-equity plan and the lowest in Plan II. The break-even level of EBIT is $68,400 for both the plans compared to the all-equity plan. The EPS will be identical for both the firms, when EBIT is $68,400.

Explanation of Solution

Formula to calculate the payment of interest:

Interest payment=Debt issued× Rate of interest

Compute the payment of interest:

Interest payment under Plan I=Debt issued× Rate of interest=$361,000×0.10=$36,100

Hence, the payment of interest under Plan I is $36,100.

Compute the payment of interest:

Interest payment under Plan II=Debt issued× Rate of interest=$228,000×0.10=$22,800

Hence, the payment of interest under Plan II is $22,800.

Formula to calculate the taxes:

Taxes=(EBITInterest)(Tax rate)

Compute taxes for each plan:

Tax under Plan I=(EBITInterest)(Tax rate)=($61,000$36,100)(0.35)=$8,715

Hence, the tax for Plan I is $8,715.

Tax under Plan II=(EBITInterest)(Tax rate)=($61,000$22,800)(0.35)=$13,370

Hence, the tax for Plan II is $13,370.

Tax under all-equity plan=(EBITInterest)(Tax rate)=($61,000$0)(0.35)=$21,350

Hence, the tax for all-equity plan is $21,350.

Formula to calculate the NI (Net Income):

NI=EBITInterestTaxes

Compute NI for each plan:

NI for Plan I=EBITInterestTaxes=$61,000$36,100$8,715=$16,185

Hence, the net income under Plan I is $16,185

NI for Plan II=EBITInterestTaxes=$61,00022,800$13,370=$24,830

Hence, the net income under Plan II is $24,830.

NI for all-equity plan=EBITInterestTaxes=$61,000$0$39,650=$21,350

Hence, the net income under all-equity plan is $21,350.

Formula to compute the EPS:

Earnings per share=NIOutstanding shares

Compute the EPS:

Earnings per share under Plan I=NIOutstanding shares=$16,1858,500 shares=$1.90

Hence, the EPS for plan I is $1.90.

Earnings per share under Plan II=NIOutstanding shares=$24,83012,000 shares=$2.07

Hence, the EPS for plan II is $2.07.

Earnings per share under all-equity plan=NIOutstanding shares=$39,65018,000 shares=$2.20

Hence, the EPS for all-equity plan is $2.20.

Table showing the income statement under each plan:

I II All-equity
EBIT $61,000 $61,000 $61,000
Interest 36,100 22,800 0
Taxes 8,715 13,370 21,350
NI $16,185 $24,830 $21,350
EPS $1.90 $2.07 $2.20

Hence, the all-equity plan has the highest EPS and the lowest EPS is in Plan II.

Formula to calculate the break-even level of EBIT:

EPS=(EBITRDD)(1Tc)Outstanding shares

Where,

RDD denotes the payment of interest,

TC is the corporate tax rate.

Note: The above equation is equal to the equation used before, except the addition of taxes.

Equation to solve for break-even level of EBIT under Plan I:

EPS=(EBITRDD)(1Tc)Outstanding shares=(EBIT0.10($361,000))(10.35)$8,500

Equation to solve for break-even level of EBIT under all equity plan:

EPS=EBIT(1TC)Outstanding shares=EBIT(10.35)$18,000

Solve the above two equations:

EBIT(10.35)$18,000=(EBIT0.10($361,000))(10.35)$8,500$5,525 EBIT=($11,700EBIT$422,370,000)$6,175EBIT=$422,370,000EBIT=$68,400

Hence, the break-even level of EBIT between Plan I and all-equity plan is $68,400.

Equation to solve for break-even level of EBIT under Plan II:

EPS=(EBITRDD)Outstanding shares=EBIT0.10($228,000)(10.35)$12,000

Solve the above equation with the equation of all-equity plan:

EBIT(10.35)$18,000=EBIT0.10($228,000)(10.35)$12,000$7,800EBIT=$11,700EBIT$266,760,000EBIT=$68,400

Hence, the break-even level of EBIT between Plan II and all-equity plan is $68,400.

Equation to solve for break-even level of EBIT under Plan I:

EPS=(EBITRDD)Outstanding shares=EBIT0.10($361,000)(10.35)$8,500
