Question
SUBJECT: Bankruptcy
"At the time it defaulted on its interest payments and filed for bankruptcy, the McDaniel Mining Company had the balance sheet shown here (in thousands of dollars). The court, after trying unsuccessfully to reorganize the firm, decided that the only recourse was liquidation under Chapter 7. Sale of the fixed assets, which were pledged as collateral to the mortgage bondholders, brought in $400,000, while the current assets were sold for another $200,000. Thus, the total proceeds from the liquidation sale were $600,000. The trustee’s costs amounted to $50,000; no single worker was due more than the maximum allowable wages per worker; and there were no unfunded pension plan liabilities. Determine the distribution of proceeds to the claimants."

TOTAL proceeds available = 300000
TOTAL liability = 7420000+ Retained earnings 150000 = 7570000
Balance liability = 7570000-300000 = 7270000
Share value = 7270000/50000 = 145.4 as receivable
