Dirty Don's Bicycle Shop is current financed with 100% equity. The firm currently has 100,000 shares of common stock outstanding, selling for $50 per share. Don is considering a capital restructuring project, where the firm would be financed with 45% debt and 55% equity. How many bonds would Don have to sell at par value

2250

After restructuring, the capital structure shall comprise of 45% debt and 55% equity.

Hence, the proportion of debt = 45% of $50,00,000 = $22,50,000

C) Supplying euros and demanding dollars in the foreign exchange market.

Explanation:

Foreign exchange market can be defined as type of market in which the currency of one country is converted into that of another country.

For example, the conversion of dollars of the United States of America can be converted into naira (Nigeria) at the foreign exchange market.

Hence, French and German farmers wanting to buy equipment from an American manufacturer based in the U.S. will be supplying euros and demanding dollars in the foreign exchange market because the medium of exchange (legal tender) in France and Germany is the "Euros" while it is "Dollars" in the United States of America.
