Book Information

Book Description

Corporate Finance follows up on the conceptual foundations set in Introduction to Financial Analysis. This text covers numerous topics that are critical for both Advanced Corporate Finance, for Financial Markets, and virtually every concept that is useful in the Finance discipline as a whole.

The text’s two major topics are Capital Budgeting and Capital Structure. Capital Budgeting covers the manner in which corporations choose optimal business investments in order to meet its growth aspirations. Capital Structure addresses the manner in which the corporation chooses to finance its growth objectives using one or another mix of debt and equity.

Both topics are relevant to financial markets for two reasons. One, the concepts are easily translated into identical mathematical formula which are readily adapted to financial markets. Two, the corporation itself must be understood in the context of investing in the securities which it issues. Our text also digs deeply into short-term corporate financial management.
