Bill Inc. is planning a major expansion program requiring $5,000,000 in financing. Bill may sell bonds with an 8% coupon rate or sell 200,000 shares of common stock to get the needed funds. After the expansion there is a 30% probability of EBIT (Earnings Before Interest and Taxes) being $2 million, a 50% probability of it being $3 million and a 20% probability of it being $4 million. The following data was taken from the firm’s pre-expansion income statement:

Interest expense $100,000

Tax Rate 40%

Common shares outstanding 300,000

1) Compute the DFL (Degree of Financial Leverage) under each financing alternative. If EBIT increased by 10%, what would the new EPS be under each financing alternative?

2) What level of EBIT would yield the same EPS for the stock and debt alternatives?

3) What EPS corresponds to this level of EBIT?
