Honeycutt Co. is comparing two different capital structures. Plan I would result in 22,000 shares of stock and $79,500 in debt. Plan II would result in 16,000 shares of stock and $238,500 in debt. The interest rate on the debt is 6 percent.

a.

Ignoring taxes, compare both of these plans to an all-equity plan assuming that EBIT will be $75,000. The all-equity plan would result in 25,000 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.)

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.)

c.

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

d-1.

Assuming that the corporate tax rate is 23 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.)

d-2.

Assuming that the corporate tax rate is 23 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.)

d-3.

Assuming that the corporate tax rate is 23 percent, when will EPS be identical for Plans I and II? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
