In case of the offered price of $850 that Tony's customer is willing to pay; Swan-David Corporation will get the benefits from the expense of the investor. Moreover, the B bonds are not attractive enough in comparison to others like the A bonds, the investor should face the problem in reselling the B bonds in the secondary market if he does not hold the bond to the maturity or SDI does not call the bond either. Hence, the investor should consider carefully in buying the B bonds.
