Calculate the eps before and after the change in capital


Consider a firm with an EBIT of $856,000. The firm finances its assets with $2,560,000 debt (costing 8.1 percent) and 460,000 shares of stock selling at $7.00 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 260,000 shares of stock. The firm is in the 35 percent tax bracket. The change in capital structure will have no effect on the operations of the firm. Thus, EBIT will remain at $856,000. Calculate the EPS before and after the change in capital structure and indicate changes in EPS
