Initial question:

In a rising interest rate environment, how would bond values change over time? As a bond investor, what measures would you take to manage rate risk?

Reply to this response:

In a rising rate environment, the bond values would be opposite in nature to the interest movement, as a result they would fall. However, the extent of the fall would be defined through the bond duration, in other words the higher the duration, the higher the fall. In order to reduce the interest rate risk, the investor could transfer to shorter maturity papers to decrease the overall risk and duration. In considering the investor, they could also move to floating rate securities, those obtaining the bond until maturity to receive the yields that they received bought by simply obtaining it until maturity. (Brigham & Ehrhardt, 2017).

EXAMPLE:

Solution 3: Composting

Composting is the act of taking biodegradable materials and letting them break down into a fertilizer.

Biodegradable materials in a landfill create methane gas, and also add to the runoff that can potentially find its way into local water systems. Instead of putting all of these materials in a landfill, compost added to soil can reduce or eliminate the need for chemical fertilizers, and encourages higher yield in crops. Compost can also renew contaminated soils and air, and increase water retention in the soil.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency in 2015, around 51.1% of waste that ended up in landfills could have been composted (1). That is 70 million tons of waste that did not need to be put in a landfill, and comparing that to the 68.7 million tons that was composted, the United States could reduce waste in this regard by double
