Answer:
$800,000
Explanation:
we need to first calculate the value of Hornqvist with leverage:
value of the levered company = equity value + (debt’s face value x tax rate) = $18,700,000 + ($6,000,000 x 35%) = $20,800,000
now we calculate the market value of Hornqvist:
market value of the company = debt’s face value + (total outstanding shares x market price per share) = $6,000,000 + (350,000 x $40) = $20,000,000
finally to calculate the bankruptcy costs:
