The current price of Coleman’s 12 % coupon, semiannual payment, noncallable bonds with 15 years remaining to maturity is $1,153.72. Coleman does not use short-term interest-bearing debt on a permanent basis. New bonds would be privately placed with no flotation cost. The current price of the firm’s 10%, $100 par value, quarterly dividend, perpetual preferred stock is $113.10. Coleman would incur flotation costs of $2 per share on a new issue.

Consider a firm with an EBIT of $865,000. The firm finances its assets with $2,650,000 debt (costing 7.9 percent and is all tax deductible) and 550,000 shares of stock selling at $6.00 per share. To reduce the firm's risk associated with this financial leverage, the firm is considering reducing its debt by $1,000,000 by selling an additional 350,000 shares of stock. The firm's tax rate is 21 percent. The change in capital structure will have no effect on the operations of the firm. Thus, EBIT will remain at $865,000. Calculate the change in the firm's EPS from this change in capital structure. Note: Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answers to 2 decimal places.
