Solution

The statement "The transaction brings $30 new funding to the issuer." is NOT correct.

Once the bonds are issued and sold in the primary market, the issuer (in this case, L'oreal) receives the funds. Any subsequent trading of these bonds in the secondary market does not provide any additional funding to the issuer. The price fluctuations in the secondary market do not affect the issuer's finances directly. The increase in price from 80to80 to 110 represents a potential capital gain for the bondholder who sells the bond in the secondary market, not additional funding for the issuer.
