Answer:
$0.69 million or $690,000
Explanation:
Value of Firm Vₐ = $24.7 million
Debt D = $5.5 million
Shares S = 390,000 * 51 = $19.89 million
Therefore Value Vₓ = 5.5 + 19.89 = $25.39 million
We would expect Vₐ and Vₓ to be the same value. Therefore the decrease in the value of the company due to expected bankruptcy costs is
= $25.39 million - $24.7 million
= $0.69 million
