Answer:

Gerrel Corp.

EPS (Earnings per share) = Earnings after Tax/Number of outstanding shares

Plan I:

EBIT =                    $90,000

Interest =                 $4,750 ($95,000 x 5%)

Pre-Tax Income = $85,250

Income Tax Exp.      34,100 ($85,250 x 40%)

After Tax Income  $51,150

EPS = $51,150/18,000 = $2.84 per share

Plan II:

EBIT =                    $90,000

Interest =                 $9,500 ($190,000 x 5%)

Pre-Tax Income = $80,500

Income Tax Exp.     32,200 ($80,500 x 40%)

After Tax Income  $48,300

EPS = $48,300/14,000 = $3.45 per share

Plan III:

EBIT =                    $90,000

Pre-Tax Income = $90,000

Income Tax Exp.     36,000 ($90,000 x 40%)

After Tax Income $54,000

EPS = $54,000/22,000 = $2.45 per share

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Plan I = 18,000 shares + $95,000 debt

Plan II = 14,000 shares + $190,000 debt

Difference = 4,000 shares + $95,000 debt

Share price = $95,000/4,000 = $23.75

EBIT = $90,000

Interest Rate = 5%

Corporate Tax Rate = 40%

b) Capital Structure:

Plan I: (Equity and Debt)

Shares of 18,000 x $23.75 + $95,000 debt = $522,500 in total capital

Plan II: (Equity and Debt)

Shares of 14,000 x $23.75 + $190,000 debt = $522,500 in total capital

Plan III: (All-equity plan):

Shares of 22,000 x $23.75 = $522,500 in total capital

c) The Earnings per share is the measurement of the Net Income to stockholders divided by the number of outstanding shares.  It gives an idea about the profitability of the entity, especially with regard to the profit made for common stockholders.  The EPS is also one of the metrics used in the calculation of the P/E ratio to indicate whether a company's shares are undervalued or overvalued.

has gathered the following data on a proposed investment project (Ignore income taxes.): Investment required in equipment $ 36,5
solmaris [256]

Answer:

16.89%

Explanation:

As per the given question the solution of simple rate of return for the investment is provided below:-

we need to first find out the accounting profit and depreciation

where

Accounting Profit = Annual Cash Inflow - Depreciation

and

Depreciation =  Investment required in equipment ÷ Life of investment

= $36,500 ÷ 15

= $2,433.33

now we will put the value by using the accounting profit formula.

= $8,600 - $2,433.33

= $6,166.67

So,

Simple Rate of Return = Accounting Profit ÷ Initial Investment

= $6,166.67 ÷ $36,500

= 16.89%
