Problem 13-6 Break-Even EBIT and Leverage [LO 1, 2] Silverton Co. is comparing two different capital structures. Plan I would result in 8,700 shares of stock and $323,000 in debt. Plan II would result in 12,000 shares of stock and $210,800 in debt. The interest rate on the debt is 10 percent.

a. Ignoring taxes, compare both of these plans to an all-equity plan assuming that EBIT will be $53,100. The all-equity plan would result in 18,200 shares of stock outstanding. Compute the EPS for each plan. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) EPS Plan I $ Plan II $ All-equity plan $

b. In part (a), what is the break-even level of EBIT for Plan I as compared to that for an all-equity plan? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.) EBIT $ In part (a), what is the break-even level of EBIT for Plan II as compared to that for an all-equity plan? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.) EBIT $

c. Ignoring taxes, at what level of EBIT will EPS be identical for Plans I and II? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.) EBIT $

d. Assume the corporate tax rate is 30 percent. Compute the EPS for each plan. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) EPS Plan I $ Plan II $ All-equity plan $
