Answer:

Option E is correct $4,166,620 was outstanding

Explanation:

EPS=$3.5

Book value per share=$22.75

Outstanding share=215,000

Total Equity=$22.75*215,000=$4,891,250

Debt Equity ratio=Debt/Total assets

46%=Debt/(Debt+Equity)

0.46*(Debt+$4,891,250)=Debt

Debt-0.46 Debt=$4,891,250*.46

0.54 Debt=$2,249,975

Debt=$2,249,975/0.54=$4,166,620
