As a finance student, the first thing to learn is how to price assets
because if you underprice them then . . .

I wonder if the whole question is worth 1,200 words, or only the
fifth. In any case, here's a little math:
$9.75 (the fortune a research would make of such an answer) / 1,200 =
$0.008125 per word.

However, in Yen it sounds better: 0.909146 JPY and in Lebanese Pounds
it is already quiet a fortune: 12.3354 LBP
