Answer:
$226,107.89
Explanation:
As we know that
Break even EBIT is
EBIT ÷ Number of shares = (EBIT - Interest ) ÷ Number of shares
$54,800 ÷ 40,500 shares = ($54,800 - Interest) ÷ 27,800 shares
$54,800 ÷ 40,500 shares × 27,800 shares = ($54,800 - Interest)
$37,615.80 = $54,800 - Interest
So, interest is
= $54,800 - $37,615.80
= $17,184.20
Now the amount of borrowing is
= $17,184.20 ÷ 7.6%
= $226,107.89
