Detailed Solution & Explanation

### Suggested Solution — Financial Analysis & Leverage **1. Indifference Point Formulation:** (EBIT−I1)(1−t)−Dp1N1=(EBIT−I2)(1−t)−Dp2N2\displaystyle \frac{(\text{EBIT} - I_1)(1 - t) - D_{p1}}{N_1} = \frac{(EBIT−I2\displaystyle \text{EBIT} - I_2)(1 - t) - D_{p2}}{N_2} At the indifference level of EBIT, both financing plans generate identical Earnings Per Share (EPS). **2. Managerial Decision:** - If anticipated EBIT exceeds the indifference level, the plan with higher financial leverage (debt financing) yields superior EPS. - If anticipated EBIT is below the indifference level, equity financing is preferable to avoid financial insolvency risk.
