Value of unlevered firm = number of shares*price per share = 70,000*8 = 560,000
Earnings per share = EBIT/number of shares = 42,000/70,000 = 0.60
Cash flow for the shareholder = 1,500*0.60 = 900
Now, 200,000 of debt is issued which is used to buy back shares.
Number of shares bought back = 200,000/8 = 25,000
Number of shares left = 70,000 - 25,000 = 45,000
Now, Earnings for the firm will be: 42,000 - interest expense = 42,000 - (7%*200,000) = 42,000 - 14,000 = 28,000
New EPS (with levered capital structure) = 28,000/45,000 = 0.62
Cash flow for the shareholder = 1,500*0.62 = 933.33
Now, to replicate the levered capital structure, the shareholder must also hold debt and equity in the same ratio as the firm:
Debt ratio = 200,000/value of the firm = 200,000/560,000 = 35.71%
So, the shareholder must sell 35.71% of the shares held which is 35.71%*1,500 = 535.71
The amount gained = 535.71* share price = 535.71*8 = 4,285.71
This amount should be lent at an interest rate of 7%, so interest income will be 7%*4,285.71 = 300
On the remaining shares, the shareholder will still get dividends so total dividend income will be
0.62*(1,500-535.71) = 600
Total cash flow = 300 + 600 = 900
This is the same cash flow which the shareholder was getting when the firm was unlevered.
