This debt currently has a market value of $49 million. The balance sheet also shows that the company has 9 million shares of common stock, and the book value of the common equity is $151.85 million. The current stock price is $19.65 per share; stockholders' required return, rs, is 15.60%; and the firm's tax rate is 29.00%.
