Haskell Corp. is comparing two different capital structures. Plan I would result in 9,000 shares of stock and $70,000 in debt. Plan II would result in 3,000 shares of stock and $140,000 in debt. The interest rate on the debt is 5 percent.
a. Ignoring taxes, compare both of these plans to an all-equity plan assuming that EBIT will be $60,000. The all-equity plan would result in 15,000 shares of stock outstanding. What is the EPS for each of these plans? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
EPS Plan I $ Plan II $ All equity $
b. In part (a), what are the break-even levels of EBIT for each plan as compared to that for an all-equity plan? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
EBIT Plan I and all-equity $ Plan II and all-equity $
c. Ignoring taxes, at what level of EBIT will EPS be identical for Plans I and II? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

d-1 Assuming that the corporate tax rate is 40 percent, what is the EPS of the firm? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
