Answer:

EPS will increase double from $12.5 per share to $25 per share as the buying back takes place.

Explanation:

As the firm tax rate is 0, we have the firm's net profit = EBIT - interest expenses = $1,500,000 - $250,000 = $1,250,000.

=> The firm's EPS before the buy back = 1,250,000/100,000 = $12.5

Since the buys back worth $2,500,000 or 50% of the market value of the firm, there is 50% of the shares is bought back which makes only 50,000 shares outstanding. Profit is unchanged this year, since the buy back and issuing of new debt takes place at the end of the reporting period, so interest expenses is not changed for the reporting period.

=> The firm's EPS after buy back = 1,250,000/50,000 = $25.

So, EPS will increase double from $12.5 per share to $25 per share as the buying back takes place.

Answer:

EPs befor buy-back 12.5

afer buy-back 22.5

Explanation:

<u>current earning per share:</u>

EBIT - interest - taxes = ent income

1,500,000 - 250,000 - 0 = 1,250,000

shares outstanding 100,000

<u>EPS </u>BEFORE BUY-BACK

EPS = \frac{income-preferred \: dividends}{outstanding \: common \: stock}

EPS = \frac{1,250,000}{100,000}

EPS 12.5

After buyback:

the company is buying 2,500,000 /5,000,000 = 50% of the shares

thus it wil drop from 100,000 to 50,000

Now, we solve for the additional interest expense using cross multiplication:

5,000,000 of debt generate 250,000 iunterest

so 2,500,000 will do 250,000 / 5,000,000 x 2,5000,000 = 125,000

Now we solve for net income:

1,500,000 EBIT - 250,000 orignal interest - 125,000 addional= 1,125,000

Last step new EPS

EPS = \frac{1,125,000}{50000}

EPS 22.5

How many days will it take for $1500 to earn $16 interest if it is deposited in a bank paying simple interest at the rate of 4%/
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

97 days

Explanation:

In simple interest method, the interest is calculated by the following formula

I= P x R x T

I= interest

P = principal amount

R =interest rate

T= Time

In this case

I=$16

P=$1500$

R= 4% or 0.04%

T= time

$16= $1500 x 0.04 x Time

$16 =60 x Time

Time = 16/60

time = 0.2666 year.

time in days =  0.26666 x 365 days

=97.333 days

=97 days
