Solution

Step 1: Calculate Total Fair Market Value of Free Assets

The total fair market value of free assets is calculated as below:

_____

Step 2: Determine the Amount of Each of the Company\'s Liabilities Paid at Liquidation

We will first pay the liabilities with priority as follows:

Administrative Expenses Payable = $20,000

Income Tax Payable = $30,000

The remaining balance of $70,000 (120,000 - 20,000 - 30,000) will be used the pay off the unsecured liabilities. We will have to calculate the value of total unsecured liabilities and percentage of unsecured liabilities to be paid as below:

Now, we can calculate the value of unsecured liabilities that will be paid off at the time of liquidation as follows:

Payment on Note Payable A = 20,000*25% = $5,000

Payment on Note Payable B = 80,000*25% = $20,000

Payment on Note Payable C = 60,000*25% = $15,000

Payment on Accounts Payable = 120,000*25% = $30,000
