Corporate Finance ((4 Credits))

Catalog description

This study provides students with the fundamental theories of managerial finance which will enable them to understand the allocation of capital funds. The study focuses on the dynamic financial economic environment in which corporate financial decisions are made, the role of the financial manager within the firm and the empirical aspects of corporate finance. Topics include the financial environment; time value of money; risk and return tradeoff; techniques of financial analysis and planning; management of working capital; fixed assets and capital budgeting; capital structure, cost of capital; dividend policies; and sources of long-term financing. Highly Recommended (not required) to take concurrently: Introductory Accounting II (ACCT_2010) and Managerial Accounting Notes: While the course covers some valuation techniques at corporate level, greater depth would be covered in an Investing or Security Analysis course. Moreover, the course may touch upon topics in banking and international business as it applies to the (multi-national) corporations. The course satisfies the quantitative skills in business.
