EBIT-EPS and capital structure Data-Check is considering two capital structures. The key information is shown in the following table. Assume a 21% tax rate. P13-22 Source of capital Long-term debt Common stock Structure A $100,000 at 16% coupon rate 4,000 shares StructureB $200,000 at 17% coupon rate 2,000 shares a. Calculate two EBIT-EPS coordinates for each of the structures by selecting any two EBIT values and finding their associated EPS values. b. Plot the two capital structures on a set of EBIT-EPS axes c. Indicate over what EBIT range, if any, each structure is preferred. d. Discuss the leverage and risk aspects of each structure. e. If the firm is fairly certain that its EBIT wll exceed $75,000, which structure would you recommend? Why? What if the tax rate is higher, say 40%?
