Hello.  If someone could please assist with the following, I would be very appreciative.  Thank you.

The proposed operation would consist of a series of retail outlets to distribute and service a full line of vacuum cleaners and accessories. These stores would be located inDallas, Houston, and San Antonio. To finance the new venture two plans have beenproposed:
Plan A is anall-common-equity structure in which $2.1 million dollars would be raised by selling 82,000 shares of common stock.
Plan B would involve issuing $1.5 million inlong-term bonds with an effective interest rate of 12.3 percent plus another $0.6 million would be raised by selling 41,000 shares of common stock. The debt funds raised under Plan B have no fixed maturitydate, in that this amount of financial leverage is considered a permanent part of thefirm’s capital structure.
Abe and his partners plan to use a 34 percent tax rate in theiranalysis, and they have hired you on a consulting basis to do thefollowing:
a.  Find the EBIT indifference level associated with the two financing plans.
