Problem $16-4$ Break$-$Even EBIT

Foundation Corporation is comparing two different capital structures, an all$-$equity plan

$($Plan I$)$ and a levered plan $($Plan II$).$ Under Plan I, the company would have $195,000$

outstanding and $$2\mathrm{.}9$ million in debt outstanding. The interest rate on the debt is $7$

percent and there are no taxes.

calculations and round your answers to $2$ decimal places, e$.$g$.,32\mathrm{.}16.)$

b$.$ If EBIT is $$725,000,$ what is the EPS for each plan? $($Do not round intermediate

calculations and round your answers to $2$ decimal places, e$.$g$.,32\mathrm{.}16.)$

c$.$ What is the break$-$even EBIT? $($Do not round intermediate calculations and enter

your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, rounded to the nearest whole
