The Orchid Growing Company (OGC) must increase the size of its facilities. The $50,000,000 expansion can be raised in two ways: 1. Issuing 25,000,000 common shares at $2.00 per share. 2. Issuing 10,000,000 common shares at $2.00 per share, and issuing a $30,000,000, 10-year note at 8%. Based only on the information above and assuming a 40% tax rate, which level of incremental EBIT (operating income), $2, $4, $6, or $8 million, provides the same EPS from either financing choice? a. $2,000,000 b. $4,000,000 c. $6,000,000 d. $8,000,000 What does Stalla want from this question?? - Dinesh S
Let X be the EBIT X * .6 / 25 = EPS for case 1 Choice 2: (X - 2.4) *.6 / 10 = EPS for Case 2 Both must be equal. so .6X / 25 = (.6X - 1.44)/10 or 6x = 15X - 36 X = 4 Million
good job cpk i got the same number

Choice 2: (X - 2.4) *.6 / 10 = EPS for Case 2 where dou get the 2.4???
Oh nm, thats the interest expense on the note haha
choice B for me as well.
good problem. i also got B.
Hey guys, A shortcut I remember reading…something along the lines of: You are indifferent to which financing choice you use (implying EPS is the same) when the EBIT/Cost = cost to finance. So since cost of financing is 8% you can just go through dividing the different EBIT’s by the Cost: 4,000,000/50,000,000 = 8%. My wording probably sucks on my explanation, but I remember reading something about it…somewhere…gluck!
that’s a good point, Amtrack. you are right about that. we can just compare yields.

Wow Amtrak, that’s a nice shortcut. Thanks!! - Dinesh S
yes, we can compare the yield. And that formula only holds when the share price under the two methods are the same. If not, u have make adjustment. In this case, u can just use 8% * 50million=4 mil.
awesome - thanks amtrak
