Incremental change in AFB would be $ 480,000

Explanation:

(a) Debt = $ 4,000,000

Interest on debt = 10%

Therefore, Interest outgo on debt = 10% of Debt

=10% of $4,000,000

=$ 400,000

(b) Dividend payable = $0.48 per share (given)

No of shares = 500,000 (given)

Therefore, Outgo on account of dividend = $ 0.48 / share * no of shares

=$0.48 * 500,000

=$240,000

(c) Given, that tax in second would be $160,000 lesser. i. e., outgo would actually be lesser to that extent

Therefore, incremental AFN = (a) + (b) - (c) = $ 400,000 + $ 240,000 - $160,000 = $480,000

Incremental change in AFB would be $480,000
