item 7a . quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk ( amounts in millions ) in the normal course of business , we are exposed to market risks related to interest rates , foreign currency rates and certain balance sheet items . from time to time , we use derivative instruments , pursuant to established guidelines and policies , to manage some portion of these risks . derivative instruments utilized in our hedging activities are viewed as risk management tools and are not used for trading or speculative purposes . interest rates our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the fair market value and cash flows of our debt obligations . the majority of our debt ( approximately 91% ( 91 % ) and 86% ( 86 % ) as of december 31 , 2014 and 2013 , respectively ) bears interest at fixed rates . we do have debt with variable interest rates , but a 10% ( 10 % ) increase or decrease in interest rates would not be material to our interest expense or cash flows . the fair market value of our debt is sensitive to changes in interest rates , and the impact of a 10% ( 10 % ) change in interest rates is summarized below . increase/ ( decrease ) in fair market value as of december 31 , 10% ( 10 % ) increase in interest rates 10% ( 10 % ) decrease in interest rates .

Table:
as of december 31, | increase/ ( decrease ) in fair market value 10% ( 10 % ) increasein interest rates | increase/ ( decrease ) in fair market value 10% ( 10 % ) decreasein interest rates
2014 | $ -35.5 ( 35.5 ) | $ 36.6
2013 | -26.9 ( 26.9 ) | 27.9
we have used interest rate swaps for risk management purposes to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates .
we do not have any interest rate swaps outstanding as of december 31 , 2014 .
we had $ 1667.2 of cash , cash equivalents and marketable securities as of december 31 , 2014 that we generally invest in conservative , short-term bank deposits or securities .
the interest income generated from these investments is subject to both domestic and foreign interest rate movements .
during 2014 and 2013 , we had interest income of $ 27.4 and $ 24.7 , respectively .
based on our 2014 results , a 100-basis-point increase or decrease in interest rates would affect our interest income by approximately $ 16.7 , assuming that all cash , cash equivalents and marketable securities are impacted in the same manner and balances remain constant from year-end 2014 levels .
foreign currency rates we are subject to translation and transaction risks related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates .
since we report revenues and expenses in u.s .
dollars , changes in exchange rates may either positively or negatively affect our consolidated revenues and expenses ( as expressed in u.s .
dollars ) from foreign operations .
the primary foreign currencies that impacted our results during 2014 included the argentine peso , australian dollar , brazilian real and british pound sterling .
based on 2014 exchange rates and operating results , if the u.s .
dollar were to strengthen or weaken by 10% ( 10 % ) , we currently estimate operating income would decrease or increase approximately 4% ( 4 % ) , assuming that all currencies are impacted in the same manner and our international revenue and expenses remain constant at 2014 levels .
the functional currency of our foreign operations is generally their respective local currency .
assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date , and revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates during the period presented .
the resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss , net of tax , in the stockholders 2019 equity section of our consolidated balance sheets .
our foreign subsidiaries generally collect revenues and pay expenses in their functional currency , mitigating transaction risk .
however , certain subsidiaries may enter into transactions in currencies other than their functional currency .
assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are susceptible to movements in foreign currency until final settlement .
currency transaction gains or losses primarily arising from transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are included in office and general expenses .
we have not entered into a material amount of foreign currency forward exchange contracts or other derivative financial instruments to hedge the effects of potential adverse fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. .

Question: assuming that all cash , cash equivalents and marketable securities are invested to generate the stated interest income in 2014 , what would be the average interest rate?
Answer: 1.6%
Calculation: divide(27.4, 1667.2)
