Solution:
Alternative 1 ( if finance raised by bond issue)
$m (calculation)
Operating Income 10.5
interest expense: 1.5 (30 * 5%)
profit before tax 9 (10.5-1.5)
Tax 360 (9*40)
Profit after Tax 6.58 (9-6.58)
earnings per share 2.42 (6.58/3.01)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alternative 2 ( if finance raised by share issue)
$m (calculation)
Operating Income 10.5 (as given in question)
interest expense: - - (as no bond issue so no interest payment)
profit before tax 10.5
Tax 420 (10.5 * 40)
Profit after Tax 409.5 (10.5 - 420)
(or net profit)
earnings per share 1.88 (7.54/4.01)
as new shares will be issued and will thus increase number of shares and lower earnings per share
Based on the information the Earnings per share is :
Issue bonds $1.71 per share
Issue stock $1.40 per share
1. Earning per share
Issue bonds Issue stock
Operating income $10,500,000 $10,500,000
Interest expense (Note only) ($525,000) 0
Income before tax $9,975,000 $10,500,000
($10,500,000-$525,000=$9,975,000)
Income tax expense (40%) ($3,990,000) ($4,200,000)
Net income $5,985,000 $6,300,000
($9,975,000-$3,990,000) ($10,500,000-$4,200,000)
Number of shares 3,500,000 4,500,000
Earnings per share (Net income/Number of shares) $1.71 $1.40
($5,985,000/3,500,000) ($6,300,000/4,500,000)
Interest expense for Issue bonds
Interest expense=$30,000,000×5%
Interest expense=$525,000
Income tax expense for Issue bonds
Income tax expense=40%×($10,500,000-$525,000)
Income tax expense=40%× $9,975,000
