Question

Bellwood Corp. is comparing two different capital structures. Plan I would result in 27,000 shares of stock and $87,000 in debt. Plan II would result in 21,000 shares of stock and $261,000 in debt. The interest rate on the debt is 7 percent. Assume that EBIT will be $100,000. An all-equity plan would result in 30,000 shares of stock outstanding. Ignore taxes. What is the price per share of equity under Plan I? Plan II? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Answer is complete but not entirely correct. Plan 1 $ 28.75 Plan II $ 25.69

stuck on plan 2, for plan one i did: (but when i do that for plan 2 it is incorrect)

87,000 * 0.07 = 6,090

100,000 - 6,090 = 93,910

27,000 / 93,910 = 0.2875 *100 = 28.75

Answer 1

Plan I	$29.00
Plan II	$29.00

working;

price per share under any plan = Debt amount of that plan / (number of share for all equity - number of shares for the plan)

Now,

plan I = $87,000 / (30,000-27,000)

=>$29.00.

plan II = $261,000 / (30,000-21,000)

=>$29.00.
