a) Rate of Interest on Debt (Ans : 15%)

Total capital = 12,00,000

Debt : Equit =2:1

Therefore Debt = 12,00,000 x 2/3

= 8,00,000 

If interest = 1,20,000 then Rate of interest = 1.2L / 8L = 15%
 
 


Hi,

(a) Parveen already given the answer very well.

 

(b) Degree of Fin. leverage = EBIT / (EBIT-Interest) = EBIT / (EBIT - 120000) = 1.67 (given)

EBIT = 300000

EBT = EBIT - Interest = 300000 - 120000 = 180000

EAT = EBT - 40% = 180000 - 40% = 108000

 

(c) EPS = EAT / shares = 108000 / 40,000 = 2.7

 

(d) ROI = EBIT / Total capital invested = 300000 / 1200000 = 25%
