ABC Corp and XYZ Co are laptop manufacturers that compete closely in the Canadian market. The capital structure for each firm is given below: ABC Corp Debt, at 5%: $100,000 Common Shares: $200,000 Number of common shares: 20,000 XYZ Co. Debt, at 5%: $200,000 Common Shares: $100,000 Number of common shares: 12,500 Determine EPS for each firm if EBIT is $20,000, assuming a 25% tax rate. Determine EPS for each firm if EBIT is $40,000, assuming a 25% tax rate. What is the indifference point, EBIT, between ABC and XYZ? Calculate the EBIT, and then briefly explain your answer by writing one sentence to clarify what an "indifference point" is and means, in your own words.
