DF interest = $40,000; DF number common shares = 6,000; EF number of common shares = 10,000; and tax rate = 35 percent.

Calculate an EBIT breakeven between a debt firm (DF) and an all-equity firm (EF) based on the following information: DF interest = $40,000; DF number common shares = 6,000; EF number of common shares = 10,000; and tax rate = 35 percent. Check your answer by calculating the EPS for both DF and EF at the breakeven EBIT.
