    Option (E) is correct.

    Explanation:

    EPS = $2.75

    Book Value Per Share = $22.75

    Shares Outstanding = 315,000

    Debt Ratio = 44%

    Total equity = Shares outstanding * Book Value Per Share

    = 315,000 * $22.75

    = $7,166,250

    Total assets = Total equity : (1 - Debt Ratio)

    = $7,166,250 : (1 - 0.44)

    = $12,796,875

    Total Dept = Total assets - Equity

    = $12,796,875 - $7,166,250

    = $5,630,625
