Below are the answers someone else provided, and it is NOT correct. Can someone solve this correctly??? Please only make the final answer for a) BOLD.

a)

Current market price of bond = Face value x 108%

=2000 x 108%

=2160 $

Total market value of debt = No of bonds x price per bond

= 190000 x 2160

= 410,400,000 $

Current market value of preferred stock = No of shares x price per share

= 305000 x 100

= 30,500,000 $

Current market value of equity = No of shares x Price per share

= 8300,000 x 56

= 464,800,000 $
