Sunshine Candy Company's capital structure for the past year of operation is shown below
First mortgage bonds at 12% $2,000,000
Debentures at 15% 1,500,000
Common stock (1 million shares) 5,000,000
Retained earnings 500,000
Total $9,000,000
The federal tax rate is 50%. Sunshine Candy Company, home-based in Orlando, wants to raise an additional $1 million to open new facilities in Tampa and Miami. The firm can accomplish this via two alternatives: (1) it can sell a new issue of 20-year debentures with 16% interest; or (2) 20,000 new shares of common stock can be sold to the public to net the candy company $50 per share. A recent study, performed by an outside consulting organization, projected Sunshine Candy Company's long-term EBIT level at approximately $6.8 million. Find the indifference level of EBIT (with regard to EPS) between the suggested financing plans.
Answer:
[(EBIT - 465,000)(0.5)]/1,020,000 =
[(EBIT - 625,000)(0.5)]/1,000,000
(0.5 EBIT - 232,500)/102 =
<0.5 EBIT - 312,500>/100
50 EBIT - 23,250,000 = 51 EBIT - 31,875,000
EBIT = $8,625,000 indifference level
