a. Compute the difference between the liquidation value of the assets and the liabilities.
b. Based on the answer to part a, will preferred stock or common stock participate in
the distribution?
c. Assuming the administrative costs of bankruptcy, workers’ allowable wages, and
unpaid taxes add up to $400,000, what is the total remaining asset value available to
cover secured and unsecured claims?
d. After the machinery and equipment are sold to partially cover the first lien secured
claim, how much will be available from the remaining asset liquidation values to
cover unsatisfied secured claims and unsecured debt?
e. List the remaining asset claims of unsatisfied secured debt holders and unsecured
debt holders in a manner similar to that shown in the bottom portion of Table 16A-3.
f. Compute a ratio of your answers in part d and e. This will indicate the initial
allocation ratio.
g. List the remaining claims (unsatisfied secured and unsecured) and make an initial
allocation and final allocation similar to that shown in Table 16A-4. Subordinated
debenture holders may keep the balance after full payment is made to senior debt
holders.
h. Show the relationship of amount received to total amount of claim in a similar
fashion to that in Table 16A-5. Remember to use the sales (liquidation) value for
machinery and equipment plus the allocation amount in part g to arrive at the total
received on secured debt.

16B-1. Lease versus purchase decision (LO16-4) Howell Auto Parts is considering whether to
borrow funds and purchase an asset or to lease the asset under an operating lease
arrangement. If the company purchases the asset, the cost will be $10,000. It can borrow
funds for four years at 12 percent interest. The firm will use the three-year MACRS
depreciation category (with the associated four-year write-off). Assume a tax rate of
35 percent.
The other alternative is to sign two operating leases, one with payments of $2,600 for
the first two years, and the other with payments of $4,600 for the last two years. In your
analysis, round all values to the nearest dollar.
a. Compute the aftertax cost of the leases for the four years.
b. Compute the annual payment for the loan (round to the nearest dollar).
c. Compute the amortization schedule for the loan. (Disregard a small difference
from a zero balance at the end of the loan due to rounding.)
d. Determine the depreciation schedule (see Table 12-9).
e. Compute the aftertax cost of the borrow-purchase alternative.
f. Compute the present value of the aftertax cost of the two alternatives. Use a
discount rate of 8 percent.
g. Which alternative should be selected, based on minimizing the present value of
aftertax costs?
