Cooke Co. is comparing two different capital structures. Plan I would result in 9,000 shares of stock and $360,000 in debt. Plan II would result in 12,600 shares of stock and $216,000 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 $53,700. The all-equity plan would result in 18,000 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).) EPS Plan I $ Plan II $ All-equity plan $ Requirement 2: (a) In Requirement (1), what is the break-even level of EBIT for Plan I as compared to that for an all-equity plan? (Do not round intermediate calculations.) EBIT $ (b) In Requirement (1), what is the break-even level of EBIT for Plan II as compared to that for an all-equity plan?
