Based on the given information, the table below is prepared, Revenue = Price * Volume = $12.96 Million.Interest = Debt*Interest Rate. Operating Profit = Revenue - Variable Costs - Fixed Costs. Tax = PBT *40%. PAT = PBT - Tax.
If loan is taken to fund the investment in new equipment, interest = 4,800,000*8% + 7,200,000*10% = 1,104,000. If Equity is raised to fund the investment for new plan, total shares = 240,000 + 7,200,000/30 = 480,000.
Based on this, EPS for the three options current plan, new plan with debt, new plan with equity are computed as 2.04, 4.74 & 3.27 respectively.
DOL = (Revenue - Variable Costs)/Operating Profit; DFL = PAT/Operating Profit; DTL = DOL*DFL.
As it can be seen from the table, DTL is highest for current plan. Hence, current plan is the riskiest. It is riskiest as fixed costs as a proportion of contribution margin is high with current plan.
