Verbrugge and its creditors have agreed upon a voluntary reorganization plan. In this plan, each share of the noncallable preferred will be exchanged for 1 share of $2.90 preferred with a par value of $35 plus one 8% subordinated income debenture with a par value of $75. The callable preferred issue will be retired with cash generated by reducing current assets.

Assume that the reorganization takes place and construct the projected balance. Show the new preferred stock at its par value. What is the value for total assets? For preferred stock? Enter your answers in millions. For example, an answer of $1 million should be entered as 1, not 1,000,000. Round your answers to the nearest whole number.

		Common stock, $2 par value (5,000,000 shares)	$
