Chapter 2: Q25BP-a (page 152)

The Lopez-Portillo Company has $10.6 million in assets, 80 percent financed by debt and 20 percent financed by common stock. The interest rate on the debt is 9 percent and the par value of the stock is $10 per share. President Lopez-Portillo is considering two financing plans for an expansion to $18 million in assets.
Under Plan A, the debt-to-total-assets ratio will be maintained, but new debt
will cost a whopping 12 percent! Under Plan B, only new common stock at $10
per share will be issued. The tax rate is 40 percent.
a. If EBIT is 9 percent on total assets, compute earnings per share (EPS) before
the expansion and under the two alternatives.

The EPS of the company before expansion under the current plan is $0.54, under plan A is $0.244 and under plan B is $0.54.

Step by step solution

Number of shares under the current plan

Total Assets	$10,600,000
Equity = 20% of total assets	$2,120,000 ($10,600,000 x 20%)
No. of shares (Equity/Par value)	212,000 ($2,120,000/$10)

Number of shares under plan A

Total Assets	$18,000,000
Equity = 20% of total assets	$3,600,000 ($18,000,000 x 20%)
No. of shares (Equity/Par value)	360,000 ($3,600,000/$10)

Number of shares under plan B

Total Assets	$18,000,000
Equity (Equity under current plan)	$2,120,000 ($10,600,000 x 20%)
Add: Additional equity issued ($18,000,000-$10,600,000)	$7,400,000
Balance equity	$9,520,000
No. of shares (Equity/Par value)	952,000 ($9,520,000/$10)

EBIT under current plan

$\begin{array}{rcl} EBIT & = & Totalassets 脳 Returnonassets \\ = & $ 10, 600, 000 脳 9 % \\ = & $ 954, 000 \end{array}$

EBIT under Plan A & B

$\begin{array}{rcl} EBIT & = & Totalassets 脳 Returnonassets \\ = & $ 18, 000, 000 脳 9 % \\ = & $ 1, 620, 000 \end{array}$

Interest expense under current plan

$\begin{array}{rcl} Interest & = & Longtermdebt 脳 Interestrate \\ = & ($ 10, 600, 000 脳 0.80) 脳 9 % \\ = & $ 763, 200 \end{array}$

Interest expense under plan A

$\begin{array}{rcl} Interest & = & (ExistingLongtermdebt 脳 Interestrate) + (Newlongtermbondissue 脳 Interestrate) \\ = & ($ 8, 480, 000 脳 9 %) + ($ 5, 920, 000 脳 12 %) \\ = & $ 1, 473, 600 \end{array}$

Interest expense under plan B

$\begin{array}{rcl} Interest & = & Longtermdebt 脳 Interestrate \\ = & ($ 10, 600, 000 脳 0.80) 脳 9 % \\ = & $ 763, 200 \end{array}$
