c) In this economic environment, your boss at UNLV Securities tells you that a number of corporate clients are considering bond issues to raise new funds and asks you to write a memo providing guidance to the account executives on how to advise them. Specifically you are asked for recommendations as to whether clients should be advised to go ahead with their proposed issues now, or to wait until interest rates have had a chance to respond to the anticipated improvement in the economy. If this recommendation depends on the client's credit rating, explain what your recommendation is for each type of client separately. In each case be careful to explain your reasoning.
