Spring is here, and Brian and his grandfather would like to go fishing for the weekend in Vermont. Brian could either go to the river in town where anyone can fish without a permit, or he could drive up to a stream located on his family's property in the countryside to fish.

Santos Unlimited (SU) was originally unlevered with 4200 shares outstanding. However, after a major financial restructure, SU now has $37000 of debt, with an annual interest expense of 8 percent.

Their main argument is that there is now some range of EBIT, however low, that will make the shareholders worse off than before.

Required:
Help understand the situation better by computing the level of earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) that would make shareholders indifferent between being unlevered (i.e. not having any debt) and levered (i.e. having debt). Assume a 34 percent corporate tax rate.
