Holly's is currently an all-equity firm that has 12,000 shares of stock outstanding at a market price of $36 a share. The firm has decided to leverage its operations by issuing $120,000 of debt at an interest rate of 7.2 percent. This new debt will be used to repurchase shares of the outstanding stock. The restructuring is expected to increase the earnings per share. What is the minimum level of earnings before interest and taxes that the firm is expecting

Respuesta :

Answer: 31104

Explanation:

The minimum level of earnings before interest and taxes that the firm is expecting would be calculated as:

EBIT / 120,000 = [EBIT - (120,000 × 7.2%) / [120,000 - 120,000/36]

= EBIT - 8640 / ( 8666.67)

We then cross multiply to get the value of EBIT which will then give a final value of:

EBIT = 31,104
