The reference supplied below contains the procedure you need on slides 17-19. The firm's EBIT-EPS is determined using the formula EPS = EAT/NS = (EBIT - I)(1-t)/NS, where EAT is Earnings After Taxes, NS is the number of common shares outstanding, it is the annual interest paid, and t is the tax rate. "The slope of the EBIT-EPS line for debt financing is always steeper than that of the EBIT-EPS line for equity financing." If EBIT is below the indifference point, the equity financing alternative produces higher EPS. If EBIT is above the indifference point, the debt financing alternative results in higher EPS.
