Suppose a company borrows $1 million debt to invest in a project that generates
uncertain future cash flow (revenue) of 0~$2 million (when debt is due). The debt has
to be repaid (interest rate is zero) when the project's cash flow is realized. Assume
46% of the cash flow (revenue) is lost upon bankruptcy (i.e., when debtholders
control the firm). Also, assume that renegotiations are allowed and the manager may
be allowed to stay if debtholders find it better than firing. Instead of equal bargaining
power, if borrower has full bargaining power (borrower gets 100% of renegotiation),
at what company cash flow does strategic default start to occur?
