I have been trying to figure out this question for some time and I just can't get the answer. Help!
A trade creditor is owed £6,000 by a company that is in the process of being
liquidated. The company was financed by £1m of ordinary shares, £2m of preference
shares, £2.5m of retained earnings, £0.6m of secured debentures and £3.7m of other
loans, including the trade creditor’s balance.
The creditor hopes to recover 20% of the amount owed. How much would the
company’s assets have to realise in order for this to happen?
