b-1) Calculation of EPS with recapitalization

Here recapitalization means considering the issuance of debt for repurchase of stock.

We need to know some figures/amount before calculating the EPS.

No of Shares Outstanding before recapitalization = 10,000

Total Market Value = $250,000

Market Value Per Share = $250,000 / 10,000 = $25

Debt Issue = $105,000

Company will repurchase its share at the market value of shares. Hence No. of Shares to be repurchased = $105,000 / $25 = 4,200

No of Shares Outstanding after recapitalization = 10,000 – repurchased share 4,200 = 5,800

Calculation of EPS with recapitalization

Recession

Normal

EBIT

$32,000
