Would the creditors? c)Assume the exisitng bond contract was written in a way that allows the new projects to be financed with first collateral (superseniority with respect to the existing creditors). New creditors can collect $20 from what the existing projects will surely pay. Would the existing creditors be better off? d)What is the better arrangement from a firm-value perspective? "
