E. $.533

Answer 1

B. $.025

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation to determine How much will the unsecured creditors receive per each dollar they are owed

First step is to determine the Mortgage unsecured

Mortgage unsecured = $830,000 -$794,000

Mortgage unsecured= $36,000

Second step is to calculate the Funds available after expenses

Funds available after expenses = $467,000 - $330,000

Funds available after expenses = $137,000

Third step is to calculate the Funds available after secured claims

Funds available after secured claims = $137,000 - $128,000

Funds available after secured claims= $9,000

Fourth step is to calculate the Total unsecured claims

Total unsecured claims = $36,000 + $329,000 Total unsecured claims = $365,000

Now let determine Percent unsecured claims paid

Percent unsecured claims paid = $9,000 / $365,000

Percent unsecured claims paid= .025*100

Percent unsecured claims paid=2.5%

Therefore the amount of that the unsecured creditors receive per each dollar they are owed will be $.025
