    The break-even EBIT using EPS is $1,288,000.

    Explanation:

    the break-even EBIT using EPS is the EBIT that will brings EPS under two different capital structure equal.

    Denot X is the EBIT.

    * We have:

    + EPS in all-equity firm = X/460,000

    + EPS in levered firm = (X - interest rate) / 230,000 = (X - 4,600,000 x 14%) / 230,000 = (X - 644,000) / 230,000.

    * We have the equation:

    X/460,000 = (X-644,000) / 230,000 X/460,000 = 2.8 X = $1,288,000.

    So, the break-even EBIT using EPS is $1,288,000.
