    Decrease in value of company due to expected bankruptcy cost = $414,000

    Explanation:

    As per the data given in the question,

    According to M & M proportional I with taxes,

    Levered firm value is = Equity + Debt

    = $29,900,000 + 0.22 * $6,200,000

    = $31,264,000

    Market value of the firm = market value of debt + market value of equity

    = $6,200,000 + 425,000 * $58

    = $30,850,000

    Decrease in value of company due to expected bankruptcy cost = $31,264,000 - $30,850,000

    = $414,000
