Impact of Debt on P/E

Makes sense that borrowing debt would decrease NI, but on the other hand I have read that it would increase EPS (source), how? How can the NI decrease but EPS increase? 

Also, would the overall impact be to reduce P/E as Net Income increases but market cap would remain unchanged if you raise debt (and vice versa for deleveraging)? Thank you.
