Answer 1

Answer:

break even EBIT is $717,240.13

given data

stock outstanding = 230000 shares

stock outstanding = 224478 shares

debt outstanding = $210000

interest rate = 8.2 percent

to find out

What is the break even EBIT

solution

we get break even EBIT is here express as

$\frac{EBIT}{230000} = \frac{EBIT-210000*0.082}{224478}$

EBIT × 224478 = 230000  × ( EBIT - 17220 )

solve it we get

EBIT  = $717,240.13

so break even EBIT is $717,240.13
