    e. $62

    Explanation:

    EBIT = $100,000

    interests = $12,000

    tax rate 40%

    net income = ($100,000 - $12,000) x 60% = $52,800

    value of shareholders' equity = $52,800 / 8.8% = $600,000

    stock price $600,000 / 10,000 = $60

    issue $200,000 to buy back 3,334 stocks, total debt $400,000)

    total market value = $820,000

    value of stockholders' equity = $820,000 / 2 = $410,000

    stock price = $410,000 / 6,666 stocks = $62
