Persnickety Pens has been operating as an all-equity company for the last 50 years and currently has 100,000 shares outstanding and total assets of $900,000. The company is considering a change to its capital structure by selling debt to retire 30,000 shares. The cost of debt is 6%. What is the EBIT that the company must earn to be indifferent between the equity and debt structures? All answers are correct. At the breakeven point, the EPS is $0.38 per share for the equity option. Above the breakeven point, the company would prefer the debt option. At EBIT = $54,000, the company is indifferent between the capital structure options.
