Duration would not be an appropriate measure for corporate common stock.
Option: (C)
<u>Explanation:

- By considering duration as a measure, only the anticipated price movement of fixed income security for a given change in given market interest rate levels could be determined.

The Space Race was a period when the United States and Soviet Union
competed for technological advancements and scientific accomplishments.
This competition was a result of the Cold War that started after World
War II.
Exploring space during this era (late 1950's through the
beginning of the 1970's) was an unprecedented adventure for its time.
The world was shocked when the Soviet Union were able to launch Sputnik (
a satellite) into space. After this momentous accomplishment, the US
followed sending their own satellite into space several months later.
Both
of these countries took a significant risk, as their satellites,
spaceships, and other equipment could completely blow up. This would
result in the deaths of citizens. Along with this, they had to risk the
financial risk that this race caused. Each country poured in hundreds of
millions of dollars into their space programs over the course of 2
decades. If countries failed to achieve any breakthroughs, then this
money would have been wasted.
Despite the risks, this space race
had several positive effects on the world. This includes the
implementation of satellites that allow us to use GPS, the invention of
memory foam mattresses, and increased funding for public education.

<u><em>U.S. presidents do not only have a 2 year term, they have 4 year terms.</em></u> The absolute longest that they can be in power is for 2 terms, AKA 8 years. According to the 22nd amendment in the Constitution of United States of America 1789 (rev. 1992), "...No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President, when this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term..."
The only exception to this date was for our 32nd president Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who served 4 presidential terms. The only reason this was allowed was because the 22nd amendment was officially passed in 1947, and Roosevelt served from 1933 - 1945.
