Question: In order to accurately assess the capital structure of a firm, it is necessary to convert its balance sheet figures to a market value basis. KJM Corporation's balance sheet as of today, January 1, 2005, is as follows:

Long-term debt (bonds, at par)	$10,000,000
Preferred stock	2,000,000
Common stock ($10 par)	10,000,000
Retained earnings	4,000,000
Total debt and equity	$26,000,000

The bonds have a 4 percent coupon rate, payable semiannually, and a par value of $1,000. They mature on January 1, 2015. The yield to maturity is 12 percent, so the bonds now sell below par. What is the current market value of the firm's debt?
