Trapper 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 320,000 shares of stock outstanding. Under Plan II, there would be 240,000 shares of stock outstanding and $2,272,000 in debt outstanding. The interest rate on the debt is 10 percent, and there are no taxes.
a. Assume that EBIT is $700,000. Compute the EPS for both Plan I and Plan II. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
b. Assume that EBIT is $950,000. Compute the EPS for both Plan I and Plan II. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
c. What is the break-even EBIT? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.)
