Inventories | 890 | Wages payable | 150 | |

The mortgage bonds are secured by the plant but not by the equipment. The subordinated debentures are subordinated to notes payable. The firm was unable to reorganize under Chapter 11; therefore, it was liquidated under Chapter 7. The trustee, whose legal and administrative fees amounted to $50,000, sold off the assets and received the following proceeds (in thousands of dollars):
Asset | Proceeds |
Plant | $1,300 |
Equipment | 2,800 |
Receivables | 60 |
Inventories | 400 |
Total | $4,560 |
In addition, the firm had $10,000 in cash available for distribution. No single wage earner had claims exceeding the maximum allowable wages per worker, and there were no unfunded pension plan liabilities.
