    It is a better deal to finance through bonds payable, as the projected earnings per share is 2.76 while, financing through equity the EPS is 0.4125

    Explanation:

    current income: 150,000

    additional income 300,000

    if finance through equity:

    300,000 - 40% tax rate = 180,000

    scenario income 150,000 + 180,000 = 330,000

    EPS: 330,000 / (100,000+700,000) = 330,000/800,000 = 0.4125

    if finance through debt:

    1,000,000 x 9% = 90,000 interest expense

    (300,000 - 90,000) - 40% taxrate = 126,000 after interet and taxes

    scenario income 150,000 + 126,000 = 276,000

    EPS 276,000 / 100,000 = 2.76
