Essay

(Communication)
Susan Jones works for Trend Press, a fairly large book publishing firm. Her best friend and rival, Diane Nilson, works for Lifeline Books, a smaller publisher. Both companies issue $100,000 in bonds on July 1. Trend's bonds were issued at a discount, while Lifeline's were issued at a premium. Diane sent Susan a fax the next day. She told Susan that it was obvious who the better publisher was and the market had shown its preference! She reminded Susan again of her recent increase in salary as further proof of the superiority of Lifeline Books.
Required:
Draft a short note for Susan to send to Diane. Explain how such a result could occur.
