8. There is likely to be a wealth transfer from old debt holders to equity holders. The former
will be worse off and the latter better off. The new company is assuming only $5 million of
the old debt, which with $20 million in equity value gives a debt-to-total-market-value ratio

The debt can be properly serviced at this level of interest rate. It assumes, however, that the
company achieves the EBIT performance forecasted. If this does not occur, there could be a
shortfall because the margins of safety in the first several years and the last year are thin.

The enterprise would default in the second year if there were a sharp rise in the prime rate.
Moreover, the cushion in the third year would be very thin. The problem illustrates the risks
associated with high leverage. With business risk, the situation is even riskier than
illustrated.

a. Overall value of company = $800,000 × 5 = $4,000,000. From this amount, court costs
of $200,000 must be subtracted to give a total valuation of $3,800,000.
b. The bank loan and first-mortgage bonds are secured, so they simply will be continued
as they are. Given bankruptcy rules, accrued wages must be paid as a priority item.

The maximum amount of capital notes that can be issued is
EBIT $ 800,000
Less: Bank loan interest 72,000
Divide by coverage ratio ÷ 4
Interest on long-term debt $ 182,000
Capital note interest $ 117,000
The maximum amount of preferred stock that can be issued according to the coverage
ratio is
EBIT $ 800,000
Less: Bank loan interest 72,000
Divide by coverage ratio ÷ 2
Divide by preferred rate ÷ 0.13
If these maximum amounts were employed, we would have the following for the
reorganized company (in thousands):
Current liabilities $1,300
Capital notes 780

As this amount exceeds the total valuation of $3.8 million, it obviously is not feasible.
Something must give, and the most likely candidate is the preferred stock, owing to
Current liabilities $1,300,000
Common stock 1,140,000
c. Allocation of these securities in keeping with the rules of absolute priority would result
in the following:

$4,420,000 $3,800,000
Only the subordinated debenture holders receive securities different from what they
previously held. The common stockholders, as residual owners, receive less common stock
ownership than they had before.

c. Market price per share: $2.0833 × 12 = $25.00
In the first instance, share price rises, from $24, due to the increase in earnings per

This value is lower than the previous total market value of $5,500,000. Clearly,

Annual EBIT to service debt:
Senior debt interest: $88,480,000 × 0.12 = $10,617,600
During the first five years, EBIT of $25 million will not be sufficient to service the debt.
