EBIT – EPS Analysis

Financial leverage has a favorable impact on the EPS only if the ROI is more than the cost of debt. It will rather have an unfavorable effect if the ROI is less than the cost of debt. That is why financial leverage is also called the twin edged sword. It turns out that if the firms after tax borrowing cost, which has denoted as Kd, is less than after tax ROI then increase in financial leverage, holding EBIT constant, will always increase the EPS. A reduction in financial leverage reduces the EPS. If kd, is greater than the ROI then the opposite will occur. These relationships, in fact, follow directly from the accounting relationships and always hold good.

EBIT – EPS Analysis Formulas

If the firm has employed debt only and no preference shares, the financial break-even EBIT level is:

Financial break-even EBIT =Interest Charge

If the firm has employed debt as well as preference share capital, then its financial break-even EBIT will be determined not only by the interest charge but also by the fixed preference dividend. It may be noted that the preference dividend is payable only out of profit after tax, whereas the financial break-even level is before tax. The financial break-even in such a case may be determined as follows:

Financial break-even EBIT = Interest + [(Preference Dividend + Dividend Distribution Tax) ÷ (1 – t)]

The indifference level of EBIT for a given set of financial plans can be ascertained as follows:

1. All-equity financing versus Debt-equity mix:

EPS under All equity financing is:

EPS = [EBIT × (1- t)] ÷ N1

EPS under Debt-equity mix is:

[(EBIT- I) × (1-t)] ÷ N2

I = Total interest charge on debt financing.

N1 = Total No. of Equity shares under financial plan 1

N2 = Total No. of Equity shares under financial plan 2

t = Tax rate.

Since, the EPS is made to be equal under two different plans (for the same EBIT), now setting the two EPS equal to each other-

[EBIT × (1- t)] ÷ N1 = [(EBIT- I) × (1-t)] ÷ N2

The value of EBIT in the above equation is the indifferent level of EBIT for a choice between the all equity financial plan and the debt equity mix financial plan.

2. Debt-equity mix v.Debt-equity mix (different level of debt financing or different rates of interest on debts):

In this case, the indifferent level of EBIT may be ascertained on the same lines as above. Suppose, I1 and I2 are the total interest payments under two different financial plans. Now, the indifference level of EBIT may be ascertained on the basis of the following equation:

[(EBIT- I1) × (1-t)] ÷ N1 = [(EBIT- I2) × (1-t)] ÷ N2

The value of EBIT in this equation is the indifference level of EBIT between two different Debt-equity plans.

(3) All-equity plan v. Equity-preference plan:

In this case, the firm will be required to pay Preference Dividend (PD) also; therefore, indifference level of EBIT may be ascertained as follows:

[EBIT × (1- t)] ÷ N1 = [EBIT × (1- t) – PD] ÷ N2

The value of EBIT in the above equation is indifference level of EBIT between two financial plans i.e., all equity plan and Equity-preference plan.

(4) All-equity plan v.Equity-preference-debt mix:

A firm may be having a situation to make a choice between an all equity plan and the financial mix consisting of equity capital, preference capital and debt. In such a case, the indifference level of EBIT may be ascertained from the following equation:

[EBIT × (1- t)] ÷ N1 = [(EBIT – I) × (1- t) – PD] ÷ N2

1. ABC Ltd. has a current level of EBIT of Rs. 28,00,000 which is likely to be unchanged. It has decided to raise Rs. 5,00,000 of additional capital funds and has identified two mutually exclusive alternative financial plans. The relevant information is as follows:

Present Capital Structure

 

5,00,000 Equity shares of Rs. 10 each, and 10% Bonds of Rs. 30,00,000

Tax rate

40%

Current EBIT

Rs. 28,00,000

Current EPS

Rs. 5

Current market price

Rs. 25 per share

Financial Plan I

40,000 equity shares @ Rs. 25 per share

Financial Plan II

10% debentures of Rs. 10,00,000

What is the indifference level of EBIT? What are the financial break-even levels and plot the EBIT-EPS lines on the graph paper. Which alternative financial plan is better?

Solution

If Plan I is accepted, then the new capital structure of the firm is expected to consist of 5,40,000 equity shares and 10% bonds of Rs. 30,00,000. The EPS of the firm in this case would be:

EPSPLAN 1 = [(EBIT- I) × (1-t)] ÷ N1

= [(EBIT- 3,00,000) × (1-0.4)] ÷ 5,40,000

= [0.6 EBIT – 1,80,000] ÷ 5,40,000

I = Total interest charge on debt financing = 10% of Rs. 30,00,000 = Rs. 3,00,000

N1 = Total No. of Equity shares under financial plan 1 = 5,40,000

t = Tax rate.

If Plan II is adopted then the capital structure of the firm would consist of 5,00,000 equity shares, 10% bonds of 30,00,000 and 10% debentures of Rs. 10,00,000. The EPS of the firm in this case would be:

EPSPLAN 2 = [(EBIT- I) × (1-t)] ÷ N1

= [(EBIT- 4,00,000) × (1-0.4)] ÷ 5,00,000

= [0.6 EBIT – 2,40,000] ÷ 5,00,000

I = Total interest charge on debt financing = Rs. 3,00,000 + Rs.1,00,000 = Rs.4,00,000

Interest Calculation:

10% of Rs. 30,00,000 = Rs. 3,00,000

10 % of Rs.10,00,000 = Rs.1,00,000

N2 = Total No. of Equity shares under financial plan 2 = 5,00,000

t = Tax rate.

In order to find out the indifference level of EBIT, EPS under the two plans should be equated as follows:

=> [0.6 EBIT – 1,80,000] ÷ 5,40,000 = [0.6 EBIT – 2,40,000] ÷ 5,00,000

ABC Ltd. has a current level of EBIT of Rs. 28,00,000 which is likely to be unchanged. It has decided to raise Rs. 5,00,000 of additional capital funds and has identified two mutually exclusive alternative financial plans. The relevant information is as follows: Present Capital Structure 	5,00,000 Equity shares of Rs. 10 each, and 10% Bonds of Rs. 30,00,000 Tax rate 	40% Current EBIT	Rs. 28,00,000 Current EPS	Rs. 5 Current market price	Rs. 25 per share Financial Plan I	40,000 equity shares @ Rs. 25 per share Financial Plan II	10% debentures of Rs. 10,00,000 What is the indifference level of EBIT? What are the financial break-even levels and plot the EBIT-EPS lines on the graph paper. Which alternative financial plan is better? Solution If Plan I is accepted, then the new capital structure of the firm is expected to consist of 5,40,000 equity shares and 10% bonds of Rs. 30,00,000. The EPS of the firm in this case would be: EPSPLAN 1 = [(EBIT- I) × (1-t)] ÷ N1 = [(EBIT- 3,00,000) × (1-0.4)] ÷ 5,40,000 = [0.6 EBIT – 1,80,000] ÷ 5,40,000 I = Total interest charge on debt financing = 10% of Rs. 30,00,000 = Rs. 3,00,000 N1 = Total No. of Equity shares under financial plan 1 = 5,40,000 t = Tax rate. If Plan II is adopted then the capital structure of the firm would consist of 5,00,000 equity shares, 10% bonds of 30,00,000 and 10% debentures of Rs. 10,00,000. The EPS of the firm in this case would be: EPSPLAN 2 = [(EBIT- I) × (1-t)] ÷ N1 = [(EBIT- 4,00,000) × (1-0.4)] ÷ 5,00,000 = [0.6 EBIT – 2,40,000] ÷ 5,00,000 I = Total interest charge on debt financing = Rs. 3,00,000 + Rs.1,00,000 = Rs.4,00,000 Interest Calculation: 10% of Rs. 30,00,000 = Rs. 3,00,000  10 % of Rs.10,00,000 = Rs.1,00,000 N2 = Total No. of Equity shares under financial plan 2 = 5,00,000 t = Tax rate. In order to find out the indifference level of EBIT, EPS under the two plans should be equated as follows: => [0.6 EBIT – 1,80,000] ÷ 5,40,000 = [0.6 EBIT – 2,40,000] ÷ 5,00,000 (0.6 EBIT – 1,80,000)/(5,40,000)  = (0.6 EBIT – 2,40,000)/(5,00,000) => (0.6 EBIT – 1,80,000)/(0.6 EBIT – 2,40,000) =  (5,40,000)/(5,00,000) => 0.6 EBIT – 1,80,000 = [0.6 EBIT – 2,40,000] × 1.08 => 0.6 EBIT – 1,80,000 = 0.648 EBIT – 2,59,200 => 0.048 EBIT = 79,200 => EBIT = 79,200 / 0.048 = Rs. 16,50,000. So, the value of EBIT at the indifference level is Rs. 16,50,000 and the corresponding values of EPS under both the financial plans would be: EPSPLAN 1 = [0.6 EBIT – 1,80,000] ÷ 5,40,000 [0.6 × 16,50,000 - 1,80,000] ÷ 5,40,000 = Rs. 1.5 EPSPLAN 2 = [0.6 EBIT – 2,40,000] ÷ 5,00,000 = [0.6 × 16,50,000 - 2,40,000] ÷ 5,00,000 = Rs. 1.5 Financial break–even Levels for these plans: If the firm has employed debt only and no preference shares, the financial break-even EBIT level is: Financial break-even EBIT = Interest Charge Plan I => Financial break-even EBIT = Rs.3,00,000 Plan II => Financial break-even EBIT = Rs. 4,00,000


=> 0.6 EBIT – 1,80,000 = [0.6 EBIT – 2,40,000] × 1.08

=> 0.6 EBIT – 1,80,000 = 0.648 EBIT – 2,59,200

=> 0.048 EBIT = 79,200

=> EBIT = 79,200 / 0.048 = Rs. 16,50,000.

So, the value of EBIT at the indifference level is Rs. 16,50,000 and the corresponding values of EPS under both the financial plans would be:

EPSPLAN 1 = [0.6 EBIT – 1,80,000] ÷ 5,40,000

[0.6 × 16,50,000 - 1,80,000] ÷ 5,40,000 = Rs. 1.5

EPSPLAN 2 = [0.6 EBIT – 2,40,000] ÷ 5,00,000

= [0.6 × 16,50,000 - 2,40,000] ÷ 5,00,000 = Rs. 1.5

Financial break–even Levels for these plans:

If the firm has employed debt only and no preference shares, the financial break-even EBIT level is:

Financial break-even EBIT = Interest Charge

Plan I => Financial break-even EBIT = Rs.3,00,000

Plan II => Financial break-even EBIT = Rs. 4,00,000

2. ABC Ltd. is considering a capital structure of Rs. 20,00,000 for which various mutually exclusive set of options are available. Calculate the indifference level of EBIT between the following alternative sets:

I. Equity share capital of Rs. 20,00,000, or 12% Debentures of Rs. 10,00,000 plus equity share capital of Rs. 10,00,000.

II. Equity share Capital of Rs. 20,00,000, or 12% Pref. share Capital of Rs. 10,00,000 plus Equity share capital of Rs. 10,00,000.

III. Equity share capital of Rs. 12,00,000 plus 12% debentures of Rs. 8,00,000 or Equity share capital of Rs. 8,00,000 plus 10% Pref. shares capital of Rs. 4,00,000 plus 12% debenture of Rs. 8,00,000.

IV. Equity share capital of Rs. 16,00,000 plus 10% Pref. shares capital of Rs. 4,00,000, or Equity share capital of Rs. 8,00,000 plus 10 % Pref. shares capital of Rs. 4,00,000 plus 12% debentures of Rs. 8,00,000.

The issue price of equity shares may be taken at par i.e., 100 each and the tax rate may be assumed at 30%. Find out indifference point of EBIT for different sets.

Solution

I. Equity share capital of Rs. 20,00,000, or 12% Debentures of Rs. 10,00,000 plus equity share capital of Rs. 10,00,000.

EPS under All equity financing is:

EPS = [EBIT × (1- t)] ÷ N1

EPS under Debt-equity mix is:

[(EBIT- I) × (1-t)] ÷ N2

Indifference level of EBIT:

=> [EBIT × (1- t)] ÷ N1 = [(EBIT- I) × (1-t)] ÷ N2       

=> [EBIT × (1- 0.3)] ÷ 20,000 = [(EBIT- 1,20,000) × (1-.3)] ÷ 10,000

=> 0.7 EBIT ÷ 20,000 = (.7 EBIT – 84,000) ÷ 10,000

 

ABC Ltd. has a current level of EBIT of Rs. 28,00,000 which is likely to be unchanged. It has decided to raise Rs. 5,00,000 of additional capital funds and has identified two mutually exclusive alternative financial plans. The relevant information is as follows: Present Capital Structure 	5,00,000 Equity shares of Rs. 10 each, and 10% Bonds of Rs. 30,00,000 Tax rate 	40% Current EBIT	Rs. 28,00,000 Current EPS	Rs. 5 Current market price	Rs. 25 per share Financial Plan I	40,000 equity shares @ Rs. 25 per share Financial Plan II	10% debentures of Rs. 10,00,000 What is the indifference level of EBIT? What are the financial break-even levels and plot the EBIT-EPS lines on the graph paper. Which alternative financial plan is better? Solution If Plan I is accepted, then the new capital structure of the firm is expected to consist of 5,40,000 equity shares and 10% bonds of Rs. 30,00,000. The EPS of the firm in this case would be: EPSPLAN 1 = [(EBIT- I) × (1-t)] ÷ N1 = [(EBIT- 3,00,000) × (1-0.4)] ÷ 5,40,000 = [0.6 EBIT – 1,80,000] ÷ 5,40,000 I = Total interest charge on debt financing = 10% of Rs. 30,00,000 = Rs. 3,00,000 N1 = Total No. of Equity shares under financial plan 1 = 5,40,000 t = Tax rate. If Plan II is adopted then the capital structure of the firm would consist of 5,00,000 equity shares, 10% bonds of 30,00,000 and 10% debentures of Rs. 10,00,000. The EPS of the firm in this case would be: EPSPLAN 2 = [(EBIT- I) × (1-t)] ÷ N1 = [(EBIT- 4,00,000) × (1-0.4)] ÷ 5,00,000 = [0.6 EBIT – 2,40,000] ÷ 5,00,000 I = Total interest charge on debt financing = Rs. 3,00,000 + Rs.1,00,000 = Rs.4,00,000 Interest Calculation: 10% of Rs. 30,00,000 = Rs. 3,00,000  10 % of Rs.10,00,000 = Rs.1,00,000 N2 = Total No. of Equity shares under financial plan 2 = 5,00,000 t = Tax rate. In order to find out the indifference level of EBIT, EPS under the two plans should be equated as follows: => [0.6 EBIT – 1,80,000] ÷ 5,40,000 = [0.6 EBIT – 2,40,000] ÷ 5,00,000 (0.6 EBIT – 1,80,000)/(5,40,000)  = (0.6 EBIT – 2,40,000)/(5,00,000) => (0.6 EBIT – 1,80,000)/(0.6 EBIT – 2,40,000) =  (5,40,000)/(5,00,000) => 0.6 EBIT – 1,80,000 = [0.6 EBIT – 2,40,000] × 1.08 => 0.6 EBIT – 1,80,000 = 0.648 EBIT – 2,59,200 => 0.048 EBIT = 79,200 => EBIT = 79,200 / 0.048 = Rs. 16,50,000. So, the value of EBIT at the indifference level is Rs. 16,50,000 and the corresponding values of EPS under both the financial plans would be: EPSPLAN 1 = [0.6 EBIT – 1,80,000] ÷ 5,40,000 [0.6 × 16,50,000 - 1,80,000] ÷ 5,40,000 = Rs. 1.5 EPSPLAN 2 = [0.6 EBIT – 2,40,000] ÷ 5,00,000 = [0.6 × 16,50,000 - 2,40,000] ÷ 5,00,000 = Rs. 1.5 Financial break–even Levels for these plans: If the firm has employed debt only and no preference shares, the financial break-even EBIT level is: Financial break-even EBIT = Interest Charge Plan I => Financial break-even EBIT = Rs.3,00,000 Plan II => Financial break-even EBIT = Rs. 4,00,000

0.7 EBIT = (.7 EBIT – 84,000) × 2

=> 0.7 EBIT = 1.4 EBIT – 1,68,000

=> EBIT = 1,68,000 ÷ 0.7 = Rs. 2,40,000

I = Total interest charge on debt financing = Rs.1,20,000

N1 = Total No. of Equity shares under financial plan 1 = 20,000

N2 = Total No. of Equity shares under financial plan 2 = 10,000

t = Tax rate.

II. Equity share Capital of Rs. 20,00,000, or 12% Pref. share Capital of Rs. 10,00,000 plus Equity share capital of Rs. 10,00,000.

All-equity plan v. Equity-preference plan:

In this case, the firm will be required to pay Preference Dividend (PD) also; therefore, indifference level of EBIT may be ascertained as follows:

[EBIT × (1- t)] ÷ N1 = [EBIT × (1- t) – PD] ÷ N2

[EBIT × (1- 0.3)] ÷ 20,000 = [EBIT × (1-.3) - 1,20,000] ÷ 10,000

=> 0.7 EBIT ÷ 20,000 = (.7 EBIT – 1,20,000) ÷ 10,000

 

Equity share Capital of Rs. 20,00,000, or 12% Pref. share Capital of Rs. 10,00,000 plus Equity share capital of Rs. 10,00,000. All-equity plan v. Equity-preference plan: In this case, the firm will be required to pay Preference Dividend (PD) also; therefore, indifference level of EBIT may be ascertained as follows: [EBIT × (1- t)] ÷ N1 = [EBIT × (1- t) – PD] ÷ N2 [EBIT × (1- 0.3)] ÷ 20,000 = [EBIT × (1-.3) - 1,20,000] ÷ 10,000 => 0.7 EBIT ÷ 20,000 = (.7 EBIT – 1,20,000) ÷ 10,000 (.7 EBIT )/(20,000) = (.7 EBIT – 1,20,000)/(10,000) 0.7 EBIT = (.7 EBIT – 1,20,000) × 2 => 0.7 EBIT = 1.4 EBIT – 2,40,000 => EBIT = 2,40,000 ÷ 0.7 = Rs. 3,42,857 PD = Preference Dividend = Rs.1,20,000 N1 = Total No. of Equity shares under financial plan 1 = 20,000 N2 = Total No. of Equity shares under financial plan 2 = 10,000 t = Tax rate.

=> 0.7 EBIT = (.7 EBIT – 1,20,000) × 2

=> 0.7 EBIT = 1.4 EBIT – 2,40,000

=> EBIT = 2,40,000 ÷ 0.7 = Rs. 3,42,857

PD = Preference Dividend = Rs.1,20,000

N1 = Total No. of Equity shares under financial plan 1 = 20,000

N2 = Total No. of Equity shares under financial plan 2 = 10,000

t = Tax rate.

III. Equity share capital of Rs. 12,00,000 plus 12% debentures of Rs. 8,00,000 or Equity share capital of Rs. 8,00,000 plus 10% Pref. shares capital of Rs. 4,00,000 plus 12% debenture of Rs. 8,00,000.

[(EBIT- I1) × (1-t)] ÷ N1  = [(EBIT – I2) × (1- t) – PD] ÷ N2

 I. Equity share capital of Rs. 20,00,000, or 12% Debentures of Rs. 10,00,000 plus equity share capital of Rs. 10,00,000. EPS under All equity financing is: EPS = [EBIT × (1- t)] ÷ N1 EPS under Debt-equity mix is: [(EBIT- I) × (1-t)] ÷ N2 Indifference level of EBIT: => [EBIT × (1- t)] ÷ N1 = [(EBIT- I) × (1-t)] ÷ N2	 => [EBIT × (1- 0.3)] ÷ 20,000 = [(EBIT- 1,20,000) × (1-.3)] ÷ 10,000 => 0.7 EBIT ÷ 20,000 = (.7 EBIT – 84,000) ÷ 10,000 (.7 EBIT )/(20,000) = (.7 EBIT – 84,000)/(10,000) 0.7 EBIT = (.7 EBIT – 84,000) × 2 => 0.7 EBIT = 1.4 EBIT – 1,68,000 => EBIT = 1,68,000 ÷ 0.7 = Rs. 2,40,000 I = Total interest charge on debt financing = Rs.1,20,000 N1 = Total No. of Equity shares under financial plan 1 = 20,000 N2 = Total No. of Equity shares under financial plan 2 = 10,000 t = Tax rate.


=> 0.7 EBIT – 67,200 = 1.5 × (0.7 EBIT – 67,200 – 40,000)

=> 0.7 EBIT – 67,200 = 1.05 EBIT – 1,60,800

=> 0.35 EBIT = 93,600

=> EBIT = Rs. 2,67,428

PD = Preference Dividend = Rs. 40,000

N1 = Total No. of Equity shares under financial plan 1 = 12,000

N2 = Total No. of Equity shares under financial plan 2 = 8,000

[EBIT × (1-t) – PD1] ÷ N1  = [(EBIT – I) × (1- t) – PD2] ÷ N2

Equity share capital of Rs. 12,00,000 plus 10% Pref. shares capital of Rs. 8,00,000, or Equity share capital of Rs. 8,00,000 plus 10 % Pref. shares capital of Rs. 4,00,000 plus 12% debentures of Rs. 8,00,000. [EBIT × (1-t) – PD1] ÷ N1  = [(EBIT – I) × (1- t) – PD2] ÷ N2  ([EBIT × (1-t)-PD1] )/N1 = ([(EBIT – I) × (1- t) – PD2)/(N2 ) => ([(EBIT × (1-0.3)- 80,000] )/(12,000) =  ([(EBIT – 96,000) × (1- 0.3) – 40,000)/(8,000) 0.7 EBIT – 80,000 = (0.7 EBIT – 67,200 – 40,000) × 1.5 => 0.7 EBIT – 80,000 = 1.05 EBIT – 1,60,800 => 0.35 EBIT = 80,800 => EBIT = Rs. 2,30,857 PD1 = Preference Dividend = Rs. 80,000 PD2 = Preference Dividend = Rs. 40,000 N1 = Total No. of Equity shares under financial plan 1 = 12,000 N2 = Total No. of Equity shares under financial plan 2 = 8,000 t = Tax rate. I = Total interest charge on debt financing = Rs.96,000

=> 0.7 EBIT – 80,000 = (0.7 EBIT – 67,200 – 40,000) × 1.5

=> 0.7 EBIT – 80,000 = 1.05 EBIT – 1,60,800

=> 0.35 EBIT = 80,800

=> EBIT = Rs. 2,30,857

PD1 = Preference Dividend = Rs. 80,000

PD2 = Preference Dividend = Rs. 40,000

N1 = Total No. of Equity shares under financial plan 1 = 12,000

N2 = Total No. of Equity shares under financial plan 2 = 8,000

t = Tax rate.

I = Total interest charge on debt financing = Rs.96,000

The company’s total asset turnover ratio is 4, its fixed operating cost is Rs. 2,50,000 and its variable operating cost ratio is 50%.The income tax rate is 50%.

You are required to calculate:

I. Calculate different type of leverages for the company.

II. Find out EBIT if EPS is: a. Rs. 2 b.Rs.3 c. Rs. 5

Solution

DCL = DOL × DFL = Contribution ÷ EBT

6,00,000÷3,40,000 =1.77

II. EBIT at various levels of EPS can be worked out by using following formula:

EPS = [(EBIT- I) × (1-t)] ÷ N

a. 2 = [(EBIT- 10,000) × (1-0.5)] ÷ 10,000

=> 20,000 = 0.5 EBIT – 5,000

EBIT = 25,000 ÷ 0.5 = Rs.50,000

b. 3 = [(EBIT- 10,000) × (1-0.5)] ÷ 10,000

=> 30,000 = 0.5 EBIT – 5,000

EBIT = 35,000 ÷ 0.5 = Rs.70,000

c. 5 = [(EBIT- 10,000) × (1-0.5)] ÷ 10,000

=> 50,000 = 0.5 EBIT – 5,000

EBIT = 55,000 ÷ 0.5 = Rs.1,10,000

4. RBL Manufacturer Ltd. has Equity share capital of Rs. 5,00,000 (face value Rs. 100). To meet the expenditure of an expansion program, the company wishes to raise Rs. 3,00,000 and is having following four alternative sources to raise the funds:

EPS of option I i.e. mix of debt and equity has higher EPS under both EBITs. Hence option I should be opted.

Indifference level of EBZIT under both plans will be-

=> [EBIT × (1- t)] ÷ N1 = [(EBIT- I) × (1-t)] ÷ N2

=> [(EBIT – 25,000) × (1-0.3)] / 2500 = [EBIT × (1-0.3)] / 5,000

=> (0.7 EBIT – 17,500) / 2,500 = 0.7 EBIT / 5,000

=>1.4 EBIT – 35,000 = 0.7 EBIT

=> 0.7 EBIT = 35,000

=> EBIT = 35,000 / 0.7 = Rs.50,000

10. Anew project under consideration requires a capital outlay of Rs. 5,000,00 for which the funds can either be raised by the issue of equity shares of Rs.100 each or by the issue of equity shares of the value of Rs.2,00,000 and by the issue of 15% loan of Rs. 3,00,000, Find out the indifference level of EBIT given the tax rate at 30 %.

Solution

Indifference level of EBIT:

=> [EBIT × (1- t)] ÷ N1 = [(EBIT- I) × (1-t)] ÷ N2       

=> [EBIT × (1- 0.3)] ÷ 5,000 = [(EBIT- 45,000) × (1-.3)] ÷ 2,500

=> 0.7 EBIT / 2 = 0.7 EBIT – 31,500

=> 0.7 EBIT = 63,000

=> EBIT = 63,000 / 7 = Rs.90,000

N1 = no. of equity shares under first financing option = 5,000.

N2 = no. of equity shares under second financing option = 2,500.

11. The following data pertains to RBL Limited:

Existing capital structure: 1,00,000 Equity Shares of Rs. 100 each.

Tax Rate: 50 per cent

RBL Limited plans to raise additional capital of Rs. 5,00,00,000 for financing an expansion project. It is evaluating two alternative financing plans: (i) Issue of 5,00,000 equity shares of Rs. 100 each and (ii) Issue of Rs. 5,00,00,000 debentures carrying 14% interest.

You are required to compute indifference point.

Solution

Indifference level of EBIT:

=> [EBIT × (1- t)] ÷ N1 = [(EBIT- I) × (1-t)] ÷ N2       

=> [EBIT × (1- 0.5)] ÷ 6,00,000 = [(EBIT- 70,00,000) × (1-.5)] ÷ 1,00,000

=> 0.5 EBIT = 6 × (0.5 EBIT – 35,00,000)

=> 2.5 EBIT = 2,10,00,000

=> EBIT = 2,10,00,000 / 2.5 = Rs.84,00,000.

N1 = no. of equity shares under first financing option = 6,00,000.

N2 = no. of equity shares under second financing option = 1,00,000.

14. MC Ltd. is planning an expansion program which will require Rs. 50 crores and can be funded through one of the three following options:

1. Issue further equity shares of Rs. 100 each at par,

2. Raise a 10% loan, and

3. Issue 10% preference shares.

The present paid up capital is Rs. 60 crores and the annual EBIT is Rs. 12 crores. The tax rate may be taken at 50%. After the expansion plan is adopted, the EBIT is expected to be Rs.25 crores.

Calculate the EPS under all the three financing options indicating the alternative giving the highest return to the equity shareholders. Also determine the indifference point between the equity share capital and the debt financing (i.e., option 1 and option 2 above).

A Ltd. does not have any financial leverage as there is no debt. So, the 50% decrease in EBIT (from 20% to 10%) result in decrease in EPS also by 50% (from 10 to Rs.5). In case of B Ltd., there is 50% leverage. For a decrease of 50% in EBIT from 20% to 10%, the EPS also decreases from Rs. 14 to Rs.4 (i.e. a decrease of 71.4%). The financial leverage of firm B at 20% return level is:

Financial Leverage = EBIT ÷ EBT

= 24,00,000 ÷ 16,80,000 = 1.42857

=> So, for 50% decrease in EBIT, the EPS would fall by

 .50 X 1.42857 = .7142 or 71.42%.

Indifference Point between Plan A and B:

=> [(EBIT- I1) × (1-t)] ÷ N1 = [(EBIT- I2) × (1-t)] ÷ N2

=> [(EBIT- 4,000) × (1-0.5)] ÷ 480 = [(EBIT- 6,000) × (1-0.5)] ÷ 320

=> (0.5 EBIT – 2,000) ÷ 480 = (0.5 EBIT – 3,000) ÷ 320

=> (0.5 EBIT – 2,000) = (0.5 EBIT – 3,000) × 1.5

=> 0.25 EBIT = 2,500

=> EBIT = 2,500 ÷ 0.25 = Rs.10,000

(iii) Financial Break-even level of EBIT:

Plan A: Interest charges =Rs. 4,000

Plan B: Interest charges =Rs. 6,000

Plan C: Interest + [PD ÷ (1- t )]

=> 5,000 + [1,800 ÷0.5] = Rs.8,600

Find out the Financial Leverage and EPS of the firm.

Solution

Financial Leverage = Combined Leverage ÷ Operating Leverage => 2.8 ÷ 1.4 = 2

Operating Leverage = Contribution ÷ EBIT

1.4 = Contribution ÷ (Contribution – Fixed Cost)

1.4 Contribution – 1.4 Fixed Cost = Contribution

=> 0.4 Contribution = 1.4 × Rs.4,10,000 = Rs.5,74,000

=>0.4 Contribution = Rs.5,74,000

=> Contribution = Rs.5,74,000 / 04 = Rs.14,35,000

PAT = (Contribution – Fixed Cost – Interest) × (1- t)

= (Rs.14,35,000 – Rs.4,10,000 – Rs.4,50,000)× 0.5

= Rs. 2,87,500

EPS = PAT / no. of equity shares

= Rs. 2,87,500 / 2,50,000 = Rs.1.15

18. A new project is under consideration in XYZ Ltd., which requires a capital investment of Rs. 6 Crore. Interest on Term loan is 12% and corporate tax is 50%. If the Debt - Equity ratio insisted by the financing agencies is 2:1, calculate the point of indifference for the project.

Solution

In the given case, the indifference level of EBIT will be calculated between loan option (given) and the equity option (implied):

Loan Option:

Total funds = Rs.6,00,00,000

Debt-Equity Ratio 2:1

So, 12% Debt = Rs.4,00,00,000

Equity (FV = Rs. 10 each) = Rs.6,00,00,000

Equity Option:

Equity (FV = Rs. 10 each) = Rs.6,00,00,000

Indifference Level of EBIT:

[EBIT × (1- t)] ÷ N1 = [(EBIT- I) × (1-t)] ÷ N2

=> 0.5 EBIT ÷ N1 = [0.5 EBIT – 0.5 × 48,00,000] ÷ 20,00,000

=> 0.5 EBIT ÷ 60,00,000 = [0.5 EBIT – 24,00,000] ÷ 20,00,000

=> 0.5 EBIT = 1.5 EBIT – 72,00,000

EBIT = Rs.72,00,000

Calculation of Desired Level of EBIT:

EPS = [(EBIT – I) × (1- t)] ÷ N

=> 25 = [(EBIT – 8,000) × (1- 0.5)] ÷ 7,000

=> 1,75,000 = 0.5 EBIT – 4,000

=> EBIT = 179,000 / 0.5 = Rs.3,58,000

Financial Break-Even Level:

Financial Break-Even level is that level of EBIT at which EPS is 0.

For EPS = 0

EPS = [(EBIT – I) × (1- t)] ÷ N

=> 0 = [(EBIT – 8,000) × (1- 0.5)] ÷ 7,000

=> 0 = 0.5 EBIT – 4,000

=> EBIT = Rs.8,000
