According to M & M proportion I with taxes, the value of the levered firm is:

V (Firm) = V (Equity) + V (Debt).

            = $27,900,000 + 0.24(5,900,000).

            = $27,900,000 + $1,416,000.

            = $29,316,000.

Total market value of the firm:

= Market value of the debt + Market value of equity.

= $5,900,000 + stock outstanding × Selling price per share.

= $5,900,000  + 410,000 × $55 per share.

= $28,450,000.

With non-marketed claims, such as bankruptcy costs, we would expect the two values to be the same.

The differences are the non-marketed claims:

Expected bankruptcy costs = $29,316,000 - $28,450,000.

                                             = $866,000.
