I think airlines might struggle with higher interest rates due to their debt levels, but I could be mixing that up with another industry.

I practiced a similar question about how interest rates affect stock prices. I feel like public utilities are usually more stable, but I can't recall the specifics.

Okay, I remember learning about this in class. I think the key is to focus on the flow from outcomes to benefits to corporate objectives.
