Course Description and Goals

This course will focus on preparing students to make the three main decisions in corporate finance: the capital budgeting decision, the financing decision, and the payout decision.

This course will provide an overview of the basic concepts and principle of corporate finance. Topics to be covered include the time value of money, the tradeoff between risk and return, valuation techniques, capital budgeting, cost of capital, capital structure, payout policy, financial & real options, and the role of financial markets. I will emphasize both the mathematical “tools” of financial decision making as well as the reasoning and concepts in appropriately applying these tools.

We will maintain a balance between theory and application while exploring corporate finance topics. I will bring in examples from publicly traded companies to illustrate the topics covered in lectures. Using corporate finance theory as the baseline, we can analyze real-world deviations and the implications of imperfections. Additionally, by completing the assigned cases, students will gain experience in analyzing real data and computing important risk/return measures. The goal is to enable you to think through and come up with solutions to complex business problems from a finance perspective.

This course has four objectives:

Course Objective 1: Appraise the risk profile of firms; specifically, estimate the costs of capital, including debt and equity capital using financial data

Course Objective 2 Analyze capital structure of firms by employing Modigliani & Miller framework and apply practical implications of the theory

Course Objective 3 Learn various capital budgeting techniques in evaluating investment opportunities

Course Objective 4 Value a firm utilizing various valuation techniques; including discounted cash flow method, adjusted present value method, and flows to equity method; calculate free cash flows and enterprise values
