Cooke Co. is comparing two different capital structures. Plan I would result in 10,500 shares of stock and $296,000 in debt. Plan II would result in 12,500 shares of stock and $222,000 in debt. The interest rate on the debt is 9 percent.

Requirement 1:

Ignoring taxes, compare both of these plans to an all-equity plan assuming that EBIT will be $53,400. The all-equity plan would result in 18,500 shares of stock outstanding. Compute the EPS for each plan. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).)
