Question: Haskell Corp. is comparing two different capital structures. Plan I would result in 12,000 shares of stock and $100,000 in debt. Plan II would result

Haskell Corp. is comparing two different capital structures. Plan I would result in 12,000 shares of stock and $100,000 in debt. Plan II would result in 8,700 shares of stock and $155,000 in debt. The interest rate on the debt is 5 percent.

a.)

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 18,000 shares of stock outstanding. What is the EPS for each of these plans? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

EPS
Plan I $ ___3.75_________
Plan II $ ________________
All equity $ ________________

b.)

In part (a), what are the break-even levels of EBIT for each plan as compared to that for an all-equity plan? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

EBIT
Plan I and all-equity $ _____________
Plan II and all-equity $ _____________

c.)

Ignoring taxes, at what level of EBIT will EPS be identical for Plans I and II? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

EBIT $ ________________

d1)

Assuming that the corporate tax rate is 40 percent, what is the EPS of the firm? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

EPS
Plan I $ _________________
Plan II $ _________________
All equity $ __________________

d2)

Assuming that the corporate tax rate is 40 percent, what are the break-even levels of EBIT for each plan as compared to that for an all-equity plan? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

EBIT
Plan I and all-equity $ _____________
Plan II and all-equity $ _____________

d3)

Assuming that the corporate tax rate is 40 percent, when will EPS be identical for Plans I and II? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
