Explanation / Answer
Book value of shares = Number of shares outstanding * book value per share = 8 Mn * $6 = $48 Mn
Market value of shares = Number of shares outstanding * market value per share = 8 Mn * $87 = $696 Mn
Book value of first bond = Face value of first bond = $75 Mn
Market Value of first bond = 0.97 times the face value of first bond = $72.75 Mn
Book value of second bond = Face value of second bond = $50 Mn
Market Value of second bond = 1.05 times the face value of second bond = $52.5 Mn
