Haskell Corp. is comparing two different capital structures. Plan I would result in 14,000 shares of stock and $100,000 in debt. Plan II would result in 8,000 shares of stock and $200,000 in debt. The interest rate on the debt is 6 percent.

Ignoring taxes, compare both of these plans to an all-equity plan assuming that EBIT will be $80,000. The all-equity plan would result in 20,000 shares of stock outstanding.
