Market Value of Debt from Market Value of Equity

Market Value of Debt from Market Value of Equity

Market Value of debt can be calculated from the relationship between Total value of entity, market value of debt and market value of equity. This relationship has been explained by following formula

Vt= Ve + Vd
Vt= Total Market Value
Ve= Market Value of equity
Vd= Market Value of debt

Market Value of Equity Example

ABC Company has current value of 350 million, equity market value is 100, calculate debt market value?

Vd= Vt-Ve
Vd= 350-100

Vd= 250 (Market value of equity)
