The computation is shown below:

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. In the first case i.e Debt issue which is

= EBIT - interest expense

where,

Interest expense is

= $2,150,000 × 7%

= $150,500

So for 40 hours, it would be

= $635,000 - $150,500

= $484,500

And, for 50 hours, it would be

= $795,000 - $150,500

= $644,500

In the second case i.e equity issue which is

= EBIT × ownership interest

where,

ownership interest is

= $4,050,000 ÷ ($4,050,000 + $2,150,000)

= 65.32%

So for 40 hours week, it would be

= $635,000 × 65.32%

= $414,782

And, for 50 hours week, it would be

= $795,000 × 65.32%

= $519,284
