There are two firms: Firm U and Firm L. Both firms have $30,000 total assets and $5,000 EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes). Firm U is an unlevered firm without debt, and its number of outstanding shares is 1,000. Firm L is a levered firm financed with 50% debt and 50% common equity. The firm plans to use the debt to repurchase 50% of the outstanding shares (Note: reduce the outstanding shares). The pre-tax cost of debt for Firm L is 10%. Both firms have a 20% corporate tax rate. Calculate the earnings per share (EPS) for the unlevered firm U.   A)$3.5 per share B)$5.0 per share C)$4.0 per share D)$5.6 per share
