According to the CAPM, what is the expected market return given an expected return on a security of 12.5%, a stock beta of 1.9, and a risk-free interest rate of 3%?
Answer:
5%
Explanation:
The security is 12.5%

A convertible debenture is convertible into common at $40 per share. If the market price of the bond rises to a 5 point premium over par, which statements are TRUE
Answer:
II The conversion ratio is 25:1
Explanation:
the options were missing:
I The conversion ratio is 20:1
II The conversion ratio is 25:1
III The parity price of the stock is $44
IV The parity price of the stock is $50
the conversion ratio gives us the total number of stocks that can be converted. In this case, the conversion ratio = 25, since $1,000 (par value) / $40 per stock = 25 stocks
Since the bond's price increases by 5%, it will be $1,050 / 25 stocks = $42, so the stock's price parity = $42

The term _______________ refers to a firm operating in a perfectly competitive market that must take the prevailing market price for its product. *
Answer:
price taker
Explanation:
A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.
In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.
Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.
Firms in a perfect competition are price takers. This means that they must accept the prevailing market price.
If a firm decides to set price above market price, it would lose all customers as customers would buy from firms that sell at the market price.
If a firm sells below market price, the firm would incur losses.
