Suppose Free Spirit Industries Inc. is considering a project that will require $400,000 in assets:

• The company is small, so it is exempt from the interest deduction limitation under the new tax law.
• The project is expected to produce earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of $45,000.
• Common equity outstanding will be 10,000 shares.
• The company incurs a tax rate of 25%."

If the project is financed using 100% equity capital, then Free Spirit Industries Inc.'s return on equity (ROE) on the project will be____________. In addition, Free Spirit's earnings per share (EPs) will be____________

Alternatively, Free Spirit Industries Inc.'s CFO is also considering financing the project with 50% debt and 50% equity capital. The interest rate on the company's debt will be 12%. Because the company will finance only 50% of the project with equity, it will have only 12, 500 shares outstanding. Free Spirit Industries Inc.'s ROE and the company's EPS will be_____________ if management decides to finance the project with 50% debt and 50% equity.

Typically, the use of financial average will make the probability distribution of ROIC:__________
