Sunrise, Inc., has no debt outstanding and a total market value of $200,000. Earnings before interest and taxes, EBIT, are projected to be $13,000 if economic conditions are normal. If there is strong expansion in the economy, then EBIT will be 15 percent higher. If there is a recession, then EBIT will be 30 percent lower. The company is considering a $70,000 debt issue with an interest rate of 7 percent. The proceeds will be used to repurchase shares of stock. There are currently 8,000 shares outstanding. Ignore taxes for this problem. Assume the stock price is constant under all scenarios. a-1. Calculate earnings per share (EPS) under each of the three economic scenarios before any debt is issued. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) a-2. Calculate the percentage changes in EPS when the economy expands or enters a recession. (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b-1. Calculate earnings per share (EPS) under each of the three economic scenarios assuming the company goes through with recapitalization. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b-2. Given the recapitalization, calculate the percentage changes in EPS when the economy expands or enters a recession. (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 de cimal places, e.g., 32.16.) a-1. Recession EPS % % Normal EPS Expansion EPS a-2. Recession percentage change in EPS Expansion percentage change in EPS b-1. Recession EPS Normal EPS b-2. Expansion EPS Recession percentage change in EPS Expansion percentage change in EPS % % $279,000 in debt. The interest rate on the debt is 7 percent. a. C. Ignoring taxes, compare both of these plans to an all-equity plan assuming that EBIT will be $120,000. The all-equity plan would result in 34,000 shares of stock outstanding. What is the EPS for each of these plans? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. In part (a), what are the break-even levels of EBIT for each plan as compared to that for an all-equity plan? (Do not round intermediate calculations.) Ignoring taxes, at what level of EBIT will EPS be identical for Plans I and II? (Do not round intermediate calculations.) d-1. Assuming that the corporate tax rate is 22 percent, what is the EPS for each of the plans? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) d-2. Assuming that the corporate tax rate is 22 percent, what are the break-even levels of EBIT for each plan as compared to that for an all-equity plan? (Do not round intermediate calculations.) d-3. Assuming that the corporate tax rate is 22 percent, when will EPS be identical for Plans I and II? (Do not round intermediate calculations.) Answer is complete but not entirely correct. a. Plan | EPS $ 3.53 X $ 3.66 X $ 4.02 X b. Plan II EPS All equity EPS Plan I and all-equity break-even EBIT Plan II and all-equity break-even EBIT Plan I and Plan II break-even EBIT $ 73,780 $ 73,780 73,780 C. $ d- 1. Plan | EPS $ 2.75 X Plan II EPS $ 2.86 x $ 3.13 X d- 2. $ 73,780 All equity EPS Plan I and all-equity break-even EBIT Plan Il and all-equity break-even EBIT Plan I and Plan II break-even EBIT $ 73,780 d- 3. $ 73,780
