The theoretical principles of corporate finance and their applications to business policy.
This course is a development of the theoretical principles of corporate finance and their applications to business policy. It will include financial asset valuation, capital structure and dividend policy, leasing, corporate restructuring, mergers, acquisitions and spinoffs and other topics in corporate finance.
This course is designed to give students an in-depth understanding of the theory and practice of corporate finance. The principal contention of the course is that managers should maximise firm value. To do this, managers make investment decisions by allocating resources to "good" projects. Managers also make financing decisions by choosing the "appropriate mix" of debt and equity and investment the "right amount" back into operations. Students will learn how to choose "good" projects and how to finance these projects. The emphasis will be on the "why" more than the "how" in understanding finance. This will prepare them to be a financial manager of a firm that will maximise firm value.
