The board of directors of Crane Corporation is considering two plans for financing the purchase of new plant equipment. Plan #1 would require the issuance of $ 5,400,000, 6%, 20-year bonds at face value. Plan #2 would require the issuance of 290,000 shares of $ 5 par value common stock that is selling for $ 25 per share on the open market. Crane Corporation currently has 110,000 shares of common stock outstanding and the income tax rate is expected to be 30%. Assume that income before interest and income taxes is expected to be $ 770,000 if the new factory equipment is purchased. Prepare a schedule that shows the expected net income after taxes and the earnings per share on common stock under each of the plans that the board of directors is considering.
