Cabot Corp Has a Debt Ratio (Debt to Assets) of 60

Cabot Corp has a debt ratio (debt to assets) of 60%. Management is wondering if its current capital structure is too conservative. Cabot Corp's present EBIT is $4.5 million, and profits available to common shareholders are $2,791,800, with 384,000 shares of common stock outstanding. If the firm were to instead have a debt ratio of 80%, additional interest expense would cause profits available to stockholders to decline to $2,732,400, but only 307,200 common shares would be outstanding. What is the difference in EPS at a debt ratio of 80% versus 60%?
