Description

This course will have students apply corporate finance theories through case studies. The course builds on the main principles of corporate finance which include financial analysis, capital budgeting, cost of capital, and capital structure. We will learn how these financial concepts are interpreted and applied by corporations. Students will gain insights on how corporations make long-term investment decisions and how different classes of investors, debt and equity, evaluate companies.
