    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
