Total current market value of the firms debt


In order to accurately assess the capital structure of a firm, it is necessary to convert its balance sheet figures to a market value basis. KJM Corporation's balance sheet as of today, June 4, 2006, is as follows:

Long-term debt (bonds, at par) $10,000,000
Preferred stock 2,000,000
Common stock ($10 par) 10,000,000
Retained earnings 4,000,000
Total debt and equity $26,000,000

The bonds have a 4 percent coupon rate, payable semiannually, and a par value of $1,000. They mature on June 4, 2016. The yield to maturity is 12 percent, so the bonds now sell below par.
