The first (Plan A) is an all-ordinary-share capital structure. $1 million would be raised by selling 250,000 shares at $4 each. Plan B would involve the use of financial leverage. $700,000 would be raised issuing bonds with an effective interest rate of 13% (per annum). Under this second plan, the remaining $300,000 would be raised by selling 75,000 shares at $4 price per share. The use of financial leverage is considered to be a permanent part of the firm's capitalisation, so no fixed maturity date is needed for the analysis. A 30% tax rate is appropriate for the analysis. REQUIRED: a) Find the EBIT indifference level associated with the two financing plans using an EBIT-EPS graph.
