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-equity plan assuming that EBIT will be $80,000. The all-equity plan would result in 20,000 shares of stock outstanding. What is the EPS for each of these plans? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) |

In part (a), what are the break-even levels of EBIT for each plan as compared to that for an all-equity plan? (Do not round intermediate calculations.) |
