1. EBIT and Leverage. Kaelea, Inc., has no debt outstanding and a total market value of $125,000. Earnings before interest and taxes, EBIT, are projected to be $10,400 if economic conditions are normal. If there is strong expansion in the economy, then EBIT will be 20 percent higher. If there is a recession, then EBIT will be 35 percent lower. Kaelea is considering a $42,000 debt issue with a 6 percent interest rate. The proceeds will be used to repurchase shares of stock. There are currently 6,250 shares outstanding. Ignore taxes for this problem.

a.Calculate earnings per share, EPS, under each of the three economic scenarios before any debt is issued. Also, calculate the percentage changes in EPS when the economy expands or enters a recession.

Normal ConditionsStrong ExpansionRecession

Earnings before interest and taxes, EBIT ($) 10,400 12,480 6,760

Number of shares outstanding 6,250 6,250 6,250

Earnings per share - EPS ($) 1.6640 1.9968 1.0816

Percentage of change in EPS as compared to normal condition20.00%-35.00%

b. Repeat part (a) assuming that Kaelea goes through with recapitalization. What do you observe? Considering the economy increases as oppose of going into a recession, the leverage would cause the EPS to increase by less of a percentage.
