Information about bond price (assume all have a face value of $1,000), maturity date, coupon rate, analyst ratings, and pay dates will be given.

As it is likely that there will many different companies chosen by different members of the class, please feel free to discuss and debate with your colleagues about areas of agreement and disagreement with your selections for your required follow-up responses.
