Given
Particulars | Current Plan | Option A | Option B |
Bond | 300000RM | 300000 RM | - |
Interest | 10% | 12% | - |
Face Value | 1000RM | 1000RM | - |
Equity (A) | 600000RM | - | 300000RM |
Stock Price (B) | 10 | - | 20 |
Number of shares (A/B) | 60000 | - | 15000 |
Tax Rate (t) | 30% |
Indifference Point in EBIT formula
(EBIT-Interest in option 1)*(1-taxes)/Number of shares under option 1 =
(EBIT-Interest in option 2)*(1-taxes)/Number of shares under option 2
Interest Under Option 1 = Current plan interest + option 1 Interest = (3000000*10%) + (300000*12%) = 66,000$
Number of shares under option 1 = Current plan shares + option 1 Number of shares = 60000+0 = 60,000 shares
Interest Under Option 2 = Current plan interest + option 2 Interest = (3000000*10%) + 0 = 30,000$
Number of shares under option 2 = Current plan shares + option 2 Number of shares = 60000+15000 = 75,000 shares
(EBIT - 66000)*(1-0.30) / 60000 = (EBIT - 30000)*(1-0.30)/75000
(EBIT-66000)/(EBIT-30000) = (0.70/75000) * (60000/0.70)
EBIT - 66000 = 0.8*(EBIT-30000)
EBIT-66000 = 0.8EBIT - 24000
0.2 EBIT = 42000
EBIT = 210,000$
