Answer: $47.50

Step-by-step explanation:

The price pr share given debt and the number of shares if the company had both an all equity structure and a mixed structure can be expressed as;

Price per Share = Debt Value / (Number of Shares under All-equity plan - Number of shares under mixed plan)

Price per share = 109,250 / (15,000 - 12,700)

= 109,250 / 2,300

= $47.50
