Description

This module will deal with a number of important topics in the area of corporate finance. Attention will be given to Investment, Financing and Dividend Decisions. Most of the topics will be covered in at an introductory/intermediate level. Some mathematical content is unavoidable but the emphasis is placed on understanding how the technical methods introduced can be applied to practical decision making and management. In turn, this requires an examination of the fundamental basis and assumptions of the techniques and an awareness of the resulting limitations.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of the course students should be able to:

  • evaluate investment decisions using discounted cash flow techniques under the assumptions of certainty;
  • identify and apply traditional and portfolio approaches to incorporate risk in investment decisions;
