Verbrugge and its creditors have agreed upon a voluntary reorganization plan. In this plan,
each share of the non-callable preferred will be exchanged for 1 share of $2.40 preferred
with a par value of $35 plus one 8% subordinated income debenture with a par value of $75.
The callable preferred issue will be retired with cash generated by reducing current assets.
Assume that the reorganization takes place and construct the projected balance.
Show the new preferred stock at its par value. What is the value for total assets? For
debt? For preferred stock?
Construct the projected income statement. What is the income available to common
shareholders in the proposed recapitalization?
