Answer:

$955,000

Explanation:

According to the Modigliani and Miller theory, we can calculate the value of the levered firm which is denoted by;

VI = Vu + tB

VI = 18.25million + 0.35(6million)

VI = 20.35 million

We can also calculate the total market value of the firm Vt by adding the debt (B) with the total equity (SV)

Vt = B + SV

Vt = 5 million + 440,000(32)

Vt = 5 million + 14.80 million

Vt = 19.80 million

Then the decrease in the value of the company due to bankruptcy is

Vb = VI - Vt

Vb = 20.35 million - 19.80 million

VB = $955,000
