1. You own a fixed-income asset with a duration of six years. If the level of interest rates, which is currently 8.2%, goes down by 10 basis points, how much do you expect the price of the asset to go up (in percentage terms)?
2. If you were an established company, what is "one" consideration that you would take into account before investing in the stock of another company? In this scenario, would that be the same consideration you would have as a private investor?
