SolutionThe solution is explained below −We need to calculate preferred dividends, net interest expense before calculating financial breakeven pointPreferred dividends = preferred stock * 6% = 150*6% => $9 millionNet interest expense = total interest expenses – interest income= 150*6% => $9 millionNet interest expense = total interest expenses – interest income= 15 million – 2 million => 13 millionFinancial breakeven = (PD/1-TR)+ NIE= (9/ (1-28%)) + 13= 12.5 + 13= $ 25.5 million(Here, PD = preferred dividends, TR = Tax rate and NIE = Net Interest Expense).
