Top management of Cullumber company is considering two alternative capital structures for 2027. The first (the "no debt" structure) would be to have $1,000,000 in assets and $1,000,000 in stockholders' equity, with 35,100 shares entire year. This is the structure the company had on December 31, 2026. Alternatively, on January 1, 2027, the company could issue $406,000 in debt at 6% interest (the "with debt" structure) and immediately use the proceeds to re shares of stock for $351,000. The expected amount of net income (ignoring taxes), prior to any interest costs, is $100,000 for 2027.

Assume the company pays dividends on common stock equal to its net income each year. Also, assume the accrued interest on the debt was paid at December 31, 2027, and the company has no other debt outstanding at year-end.

Also, assume the company has $1,000,000 in assets at both the beginning and the end of 2027.

(a)

Compute the company's net income and earnings per share under both structures. (Ignore income taxes in your computations.) (Round earnings per share to 2 decimal places, e.g. 2.66.)
