Question

For the year ended 2020, ABC Company has $1,250,000 of debt with an annual interest rate of 4%, $2,000,000 of preferred stock with an annual preferred dividend rate of 2%, $3,500,000 of common stock (total book value), and 273,563 common shares outstanding. 

In 2021, the company plans to raise $500,000 external capital to fund a new project through a term loan with an interest rate of 7%.  The new loan's sinking fund provision requires the loan to be fully amortized over the next 5 years, commencing in 2022.  The company expects that the existing debt and preferred stock will not be retired until the year 2026; hence, they will remain in the same amount in 2021. If the project goes as planned, the company expects $1,200,000 of EBIT in 2021. The company's tax rate is 40%. 

What will the expected earnings per share under the new debt alternative be?  Round your answer to two decimal places of dollar, but ignore dollar sign, e.g., x.xx. (Hint: Refer to the EBIT-EPS Analysis example (table) in the long-term financing decisions.)
