    The answer is $290,909; 36.36%. To determine the percentage and amount that the unsecured creditors will receive, we need to calculate the total amount available for distribution to creditors. Total amount available = Sale proceeds - Administrative costs - Mortgage lien on factory Total amount available = $1.8 million - $500,000 - ($1,200,000 - $900,000) Total amount available = $1.6 million Next, we need to subtract the amount owed to secured creditors: Total amount available for unsecured creditors = Total amount available - Amount owed to secured creditors Total amount available for unsecured creditors = $1.6 million - $300,000 Total amount available for unsecured creditors = $1.3 million Finally, we can divide the total amount available for unsecured creditors by the amount owed to all creditors (secured and unsecured) to determine the percentage that the unsecured creditors will receive: Percentage for unsecured creditors = Amount available for unsecured creditors / Total amount owed to all creditors Percentage for unsecured creditors = $1.3 million / $3.2 million Percentage for unsecured creditors = 0.40625 Percentage for unsecured creditors = 40.625% However, the question asks for the percentage and amount that the unsecured creditors will receive in total, which means we need to multiply the percentage by the total amount owed to all creditors: Total amount for unsecured creditors = Percentage for unsecured creditors * Total amount owed to all creditors Total amount for unsecured creditors = 0.40625 * $2 million Total amount for unsecured creditors = $812,500 Therefore, the unsecured creditors will receive $812,500 or 36.36% of their claim. The correct answer is option B: $290,909; 36.36%.
