Answer:

C. Leverage increases expected EPS and ROE (but increases their riskiness too)

Explanation:

C. Leverage increases expected EPS and ROE (but increases their riskiness too)

Expected EPS(All-equity Plan A) = $45m/20m = $2.25

Expected EPS(Plan B) = [$45m - ($150m × 0.08)/14m = $2.36

Expected EPS(Plan C) = [$45m - ($225m × 0.08)]/11m = $2.45
