shareholders

less than $F, share holders
get nothing.
If the value of the firm is
more than $F, share holders
get everything above $F.

debt holder’s claim is Min[$F,$X]
= $X.
The sum of these is = $X
If the value of the firm is more
than $F, the shareholder’s claim
is: Max[0,$X – $F] = $X – $F and
the debt holder’s claim is:
