Consider two firms, Go Debt corporation and No Debt corporation. Both firms are expected to have
earnings before interest and taxes of $100,000 during the coming year. In addition, Go Debt is expected to
incur $40,000 in interest expenses as a result of its borrowings whereas No Debt will incur no interest
expense because it does not use debt financing. However, No Debt will have to pay stockholders $40,000
in dividend income. Both firms are in the 40 percent tax bracket. Calculate the Earnings after tax for both
firms. Which firm has the higher after-tax earnings? Which firm appears to have the higher cash flow?
How do you account for the difference?
Answer:
Go Debt has lower earnings after taxes compared to No Debt. However, from a cash outflow perspective,
Go Debt paid out a total of only $64,000 ($40,000 in interest expenses plus $24,000 in taxes) while No debt
paid out a total of $80,000 ($40,000 in taxes and $40,000 in dividends). The difference between the two is
$16,000 which is exactly the difference in taxes paid between the two firms ($24,000 compared to $40,000).
This difference results from the fact that interest expense is a tax deductible expense.
