Question:
From the following information, Calculate EPS of the following company: Total funds to be raised = Rs. 30 lakhs Interest rate on debt = 10% p.a.
Face value of equity shares = Rs. 10 each Tax rate = 30%
EBIT= Rs. 2 lakhs
Amount of loan = Rs. 10 lakhs
Options:
EPS = Rs.0.35
EPS = Rs.0.47
EPS = Rs.0.93
EPS = Rs.1.05
Correct Answer:
EPS = Rs.0.35
Explanation:
Tax = 30% of Rs. 1 lakh (EBIT – Interest on debt) i.e. 30% of (Rs. 2 lakhs- Rs. 1 lakh)
EAT = Rs. 1 lakh – Rs. 30,000
= Rs. 70,000
EPS = Rs. 70,000 divided by (Rs. 20 lakhs / face value)
= Rs. 70,000 divided by 2, 00,000
= Rs. 0.35
