In order to accurately assess the capital structure of a firm, it is necessary to convert its balance sheet figures from historical book values to market values. KJM Corporation's balance sheet (book values) as of today is as follows:

Long-term debt (bonds, at par) $23,500,000
Preferred stock 2,000,000
Common stock ($10 par) 10,000,000
Retained earnings 4,000,000
Total debt and equity $39,500,000

The bonds have a 7.0% coupon rate, payable semiannually, and a par value of $1,000. They mature exactly 10 years from today. The yield to maturity is 10%, so the bonds now sell below par. What is the current market value of the firm's debt?

a. $17,436,237
b. $17,883,320
c. $18,330,403
d. $7,706,000
e. $7,898,650

What is the liquidity premium (LP) on Kay's bonds?

a. 0.36%
