GTB, Inc., has a 20 percent tax rate and has $85,656,000 in assets, currently financed entirely with equity. Equity is worth $6 per share, and book value of equity is equal to market value of equity. Also, let’s assume that the firm’s expected values for EBIT depend upon which state of the economy occurs this year, with the possible values of EBIT and their associated probabilities as shown below:
State Pessimistic Optimistic
Probability of state 0.44 0.56
Expected EBIT in state $ 4.90 million $ 18.90 million
The firm is considering switching to a 25-percent-debt capital structure, and has determined that it would have to pay a 10 percent yield on perpetual debt in either event.
What will be the break-even level of EBIT? (Enter your answer in dollars, not in millions. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)
EBIT $ 8,565,600.
SOLUTION:
From given data,
GTB, Inc., has a 20 percent tax rate and has $85,656,000 in assets, currently financed entirely with equity. Equity is worth $6 per share, and book value of equity is equal to market value of equity. Also, let’s assume that the firm’s expected values for EBIT depend upon which state of the economy occurs this year, with the possible values of EBIT and their associated probabilities as shown below:
State Pessimistic Optimistic
Probability of state 0.44 0.56
Expected EBIT in state $ 4.90 million $ 18.90 million
The firm is considering switching to a 25-percent-debt capital structure, and has determined that it would have to pay a 10 percent yield on perpetual debt in either event.
Break even EBIT mean the level at which Earnings per share remains unchanged.
Total Assets value of firm = $85,656,000
Stock price of company = $6
Number of share outstanding =Total Assets value of firm / Stock price of company
= $85,656,000 / $6
= 14,276,000
Number of share outstanding is 14,276,000.
EBIT are given in two different scenario, Pessimistic economy and optimistic economy. So expected EBIT is calculated below:
Expected EBIT of company = (44% × 4.90) + (56% × 18.90)
= $2.156 + $10.584
= $12.74
Expected EBIT of company is $12.74 million.
Again company wants to restructure its capital structure with 25% debt. So total value of debt issue is calculated below:
Total value of debt issue = $85,656,000 × 25%
= $21,414,000
Total value of debt issue is $21,414,000.
Annual yield on debt = 10%
Interest payment = $21,414,000 × 10%
= $2,141,400
Company use the proceeds from debt issue in repurchase of share.
So total number of share repurchase = $21,414,000 / $6
= 3,569,000
Total number of share repurchase is 3,569,000.
Total Number of share remains after repurchase = 14,276,000 – 3,569,000
= 10,707,000
Total number of shares remains after repurchase is 10,707,000.
Break Even EBIT is calculated below:
Earnings per share before issue of debt = earnings per share after issue of debt
EBIT / 14,276,000 = (EBIT – $2,141,400) / 10,707,000
EBIT × (10,707,000 / 14,276,000) = (EBIT – $2,141,400)
75% × EBIT = EBIT – $2,141,400
25% × EBIT = 2,141,400
EBIT = $8,565,600
Break Even EBIT is $8,565,600.

WAY too overy complicated of an answer. Multiply the total assets by the 10 percent yield on perpetual debt to get the answer. It works for other problems with different total assets and you still get the right answer.

Q1. Firm XYZ is currently financed entirely with equity. The market value of the firm's assets and equity is ?? = ?? = 500, and the expected return on the firm's assets and equity is ?? = ?? = 12.5 percent. Suppose the firm issues debt with a value of ? = 200, and uses the proceeds to retire equity. The market value of the firm remains the same, ?? = ?? + ? = 500. If the expected return...
