The following balance sheet represents Joe’s Electronics’ position at the time it filed for bankruptcy (in thousands of dollars).
Only net plant are pledged as collateral to the mortgage bonds (including both first-mortgage bonds and second-mortgage bonds). Subordinated debentures are subordinated to notes payable only. The court, after trying unsuccessfully to reorganize the firm, decided that the only recourse was liquidation under chapter 7. Sales of the net plant, which were pledged as collateral to the mortgage bondholders, brought in $300,000, the net equipment brought $200,000, while the current assets were sold for another $500,000. Trustee’s costs amounted to $130,000. No single workers were due more than $2,000 in wages, and there were no unfounded pension plan liabilities.
