Summary Introduction
Case summary:
Person M and Person T are the owners of Company S. They have planned to expand their business. Hence, they asked Person C, the financial analyst to identify an underwriter who would help the company to raise $35,000,000 through a 10-year bond issue. Person C decided that Company R would be the underwriter of the issue. Person C met Person R from Company R and discussed about the bond issue and the features of the bond.
