The total invested capital is the book value per share multiplied by the number of shares, which is $22.75 * 300,000 = $6,825,000. The debt is 44% of the total invested capital, so the debt outstanding is 0.44 * $6,825,000 = $3,003,000. However, this does not match any of the options, indicating a possible error in the question or options.
