Chapter 16, Problem 25P

Empire Industries forecasts net income this coming year as shown below (in thousands of dollars):

EBIT	$1000
Interest expense	0
Income before tax	1000
Taxes	–350
Net income	$650

a. What are the two benefits of debt financing for Empire?
b. By how much would each $1 of interest expense reduce Empire’s dividend and share repurchases?
