Accounting

An outstanding issue of Public Express Airlines debentures has a call provision attached. The total principal value of the bonds is $250 million, and the bonds have an annual coupon rate of 9 percent. The company is considering refunding the bond issue. Refunding means that the company would issue new bonds and use the proceeds from the new bond issuance to repurchase the outstanding bonds. The total cost of refunding would be 10 percent of the principal amount raised. The appropriate tax rate for the company is 35 percent

How low does the borrowing cost need to drop to justify refunding with a new bond issue?

I see the answer given by Sridevi Gandi, but I need help breaking down the last part of the solution.

How do I get from 16,250,000 = (22,500,000 250,000,000R)/R to thefinal answer?
