A firm is considering two different capital structures. The first option is an all-equity firm with 75,000 shares of stock. The second option is 50,000 shares of stock plus some debt. Ignoring taxes, the break-even level of earnings before interest and taxes between these two options is $95,000. How much money is the firm considering borrowing if the interest rate is 8 percent

$395833

Explanation:

Calculation to determine How much money is the firm considering borrowing if the interest rate is 8 percent

Amount to borrowed=(95000 / 75000) = [95000 – (X * 0.08)] / 50000

Amount to borrowed=1.26 = [95000 – (X * 0.08)] / 50000

Amount to borrowed=63333.33 = 95000 – (X * 0.08)

Amount to borrowed=31666.65 = X * 0.08

Amount to borrowed=X=31666.65/0.08

Amount to borrowed=$395833.33

Therefore How much money is the firm considering borrowing if the interest rate is 8 percent will be $395833
