Answer:
Number of bonds to raise = 2250
Explanation:
given data
current financed = 100% equity
common stock outstanding = 100,000 shares
selling = $50 per share

equity =55%
par value of a bond = $1,000
to find out
How many bonds would Don have to sell at par value
solution

value of equity = Number of shares × Price per share .................1
put here value
value of equity = 100,000 × $50
value of equity = $5,000,000
and
financed with bonds = 45 % of value of equity
financed with bonds = 45 % × $5,000,000
financed with bonds = $2,250,000
so
Number of bonds to raise is express as
Number of bonds to raise =
Number of bonds to raise = 2250
