Answer:
A) interest rate
Explanation:
Interest rate risk refers to the risk of purchasing a bond that offers a certain coupon and then the price of that bond changes due to changes in the market interest rate.
This can work in your favor, if the market interest rate decreases, you will have a bond that pays above market coupon, which will increase the market value of the bond. But if the market interest rate increases, the market value of your bond will decrease, and you will lose money. This is what happened to Albert, since the market interest rate increased, the value of Albert's bond decreased.

Answer:
No option is correct, since you will have 200 shares and each share should be worth around $60.
Explanation:
If the 2-for-1 stock split takes place then you will have 200 shares instead of 100. For every 1 share that you currently own, the corporation will issue another share.
Since the price of the shares was $120 before the stock split, after the stock split the price will be divided by two (the same proportion). So each new share will cost approximately $60.
In order for option 2 to be correct, the stock spit should have been 3-for-1.
