Consider a firm with an EBIT of $500,000. The firm finances its assets with $2,000,000 debt (costing 6 percent) and 50,000 share

s of stock selling at $20.00 per share. To reduce the firm's risk associated with this financial leverage, the firm is considering reducing its debt by $1,000,000 by selling an additional 50,000 shares of stock. The firm is in the 40 percent tax bracket. The change in capital structure will have no effect on the operations of the firm. Thus, EBIT will remain $500,000. What is the change in the firm's EPS from this change in capital structure?

Answer:

EPS is reduced by $1.92 and 42%

Explanation:

EBIT                      $500,000

Interest Expense ($120,000)     ($2,000,000 x 6%)

EBT                       $380,000

Tax 40%               <u>($152,000)</u>

Net Earninig         <u>$228,000</u>

Outstanding stock = 50,000

EPS = $228,000 / 50,000 = $4.56 per share

Change in Capital Structure.

EBIT                      $500,000

Interest Expense ($60,000)     ($1,000,000 x 6%)

EBT                       $440,000

Tax 40%               <u>($176,000)</u>

Net Earninig         <u>$264,000</u>

Outstanding stock = 50,000 + 50,000 = 100,000

EPS = $264,000 / 100,000 = $2.64 per share

Change in EPS = $4.56 - $2.64 = $1.92 per share

Change in EPS = $1.92 / $4.56 = 0.42 = 42%

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

$418,550

Explanation:

Steps are shown below:

a. The computation of the economic order quantity is shown below:

= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{Annual demand}\times \text{Ordering cost}}{\text{Carrying cost}}}

= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{52,000}\times \text{\$50}}{\text{\$1.25}}}

= 2,040 units

b. The number of orders would be equal to

= Annual demand ÷ economic order quantity

= $52,000 ÷ 2,040 units

=  25.49 orders

c. The average inventory would equal to

= Economic order quantity ÷ 2

= 2040 units ÷ 2

= 1,020 units

d. The total cost of ordering cost and carrying cost equals to

Ordering cost = Number of orders × ordering cost per order

= 25.49 orders × $50

= $1,275

Carrying cost = average inventory × carrying cost per unit

= 1,020 units × $1.25

= $1,275

So, the total annual cost would be  

= Purchase cost + ordering cost + carrying cost

= $416,000 + $1,275 + $1,275

= $418,550

Purchase cost = Annual demand × cost per unit

                        = 52,000 × $8

                        = $416,000
