Financial Management: Capital Structure

The document discusses capital structure and its elements. It provides three problems involving capital structure decisions for companies. For the first problem, the optimal choice is option 2 (issuing 10% debt) as it results in the highest EPS. For the second problem, option 2 again is best, and the indifference point EBIT is calculated as Tk. 90,000. The third problem determines that the optimal debt amount for the firm is Tk. 400,000 as it provides the highest EPS.

Indifference point of EBIT:
We know,
ሺEBIT −I1 ሻ(1 − 𝑡) ሺEBIT −I2 ሻ(1 − 𝑡)
=
N1 N2
Here,
I1 = Interest in op-1
I2 = Interest in op-2
N1 = No. of Equity Share op-1
N2 = No. of Equity Share op-2
t = tax rate
Now,
ሺ
EBIT −I1 ሻ(1 − 𝑡) ሺ
EBIT −I2 ሻ(1 − 𝑡)

 3.60 EBIT – 180,000 = 2.40 EBIT – 72,000

 3.60 EBIT – 2.40 EBIT = 180,000 – 72,000

 1.20 EBIT = 108,000

∴EBIT = Tk. 90,000


So, Identification of EBIT is tk. 90,000

Interest and EBIT (in thousands)


P#3:
A firm needs tk. 1,000,000 for a project, which will create annual EBIT of tk.
160,000. Management of firm wants to take debenture of tk. 100,000 or tk.
400,000 or tk. 600,000. Current equity price in the market is tk. 100 and chance to
drop to tk. 80 if debenture amount would more than tk. 500,000.
Interest rate:
1. Up to tk. 100,000 @ 8% interest.
2. More than 100,000 up to tk. 500,000 @ 12%.
3. More than tk. 500,000 @ 18%.
Find out the optimum amount of debenture for the firm if tax rate is 40%.
Solution: Working: - 1
Calculation of Number of Equity Share
op – 1 [debt of tk. 100,000] (1,000,000 – 100,000) ÷ 100 = 9,000 shares
op – 2 [debt of tk. 400,000] (1,000,000 – 400,000) ÷ 100 = 6,000 shares
op – 3 [debt of tk. 600,000] (1,000,000 – 600,000) ÷ 80 = 5,000 shares
Working: - 2
Calculation of Interest on Debt:
op – 1 [debt of tk. 100,000]
Tk. 100,000 @ 8% = Tk. 8000
op – 2 [debt of tk. 400,000]
Tk. 100,000 @ 8% = Tk. 8000
Next Tk. 300,000 @ 12% interest = Tk. 36,000
= Tk. 44,000
op – 3 [debt of tk. 600,000]
Tk. 100,000 @ 8% = Tk. 8000
Next Tk. 400,000 @ 12% interest = Tk. 48,000
Next Tk. 100,000 @ 18% interest = Tk. 18,000
= Tk. 74,000
Calculation of EPS:
Op – 1 Op – 2 Op – 3
EBIT 160,000 160,000 160,000

(-) Interest on debt 8,000 44,000 74,000


EBT 152,000 116,000 86,000

(-) Tax 40% 60,800 46,400 34,400


EAT 91,200 69,600 51,600

EAT 91,200 69,600 51,600


∴ EPS = =
No .of equity shareholders 9,000 6,000 5,000

= Tk. 10.13 = Tk. 11.60 = Tk. 10.32


Decision:
They should take debenture of tk. 400,000, because it shows highest EPS.
