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.

  

a.

Ignoring taxes, compare both of these plans to an all-equityplan assuming that EBIT will be $80,000. The all-equity plan wouldresult in 20,000 shares of stock outstanding. What is the EPS foreach of these plans? (Do not round intermediatecalculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g.,32.16.)

  

EPS
  Plan I$   
  Plan II$   
  All equity$   

  

b.

In part (a), what are the break-even levels of EBIT for eachplan as compared to that for an all-equity plan? (Do notround 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 forPlans I and II? (Do not round intermediatecalculations.)

  

  EBIT$   

  

d-1

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

EPS
