Solution

Company should prefer debt to raise fund as debt is gainful for equity shareholders till ROI > Rate of interest
In the above case ROI=EBITTotalincome×100=750×100=14%
Interest=10%
14> 10 si debt is more suitable
(b) The company is leverage effect or trading on equity
(c) Yes company's decision will change if EBIT becomes 3 lac, because with 3 lac ROI will become less than interest
ROI=EBITTotalincome×100=350×100=6%
Interest 1=%
6< 10
So, now company must prefer equity to raise capital
