Abe Forrester and three of his friends from college have interested a group of venture capitalists in backing their business idea. The proposed operation would consist of a series of retail outlets to distribute and service a full line of vacuum cleaners and accessories. These stores would be located in Dallas, Huston, and San Antonio. To finance the new venture two plans have been proposed:
.Plan A is an all-common-equity structure in which $2.3 million dollars would be raised by selling 80,000 shares of common stock.
.Plan B would involve issuing $2.3 million dollars in long-term bonds with an effective interest rate of 11.8% plus $0.9 million would be raised by selling 40,000 shares of common stock. The debt funds raised under Plan B have no fixed maturity date, in that this amount of financial leverage is considered a permanent part of the firm’s capital structure.
Abe and his partners plan to use a 34% tax rate with their analysis, and they have hired you on a consulting basis to do the following:
(A) Find the EBIT indifference level associated with the two financing plans. (Round to the nearest dollar.) (B) Prepare a pro forma income statement for the EBIT level solved for in part a. that shows that the EPS will be the same regardless whether Plan A or Plan B is chosen. (Round income statement amounts to the nearest dollar except the EPS to the nearest cent.)
