The subordinated debentures are subordinated to notes payable. The firm was unable to reorganize under Chapter 11; therefore, it was liquidated under Chapter 7.
Explanation / Answer
Answer:a The total amount available for distribution is $3,190,000 proceeds + $10,000 cash = $3,200,000. The total creditor and trustee claims are $6,800,000 + $200,000 = $7,000,000. Since the claims far exceed the available funds, preferred and common stockholders will receive nothing.
