Description

This course examines corporate finance theory and its application to practice with particular attention to how financial decisions affect firm value. A range of topics are covered including financial asset management, asset and project valuation, capital structure and dividend policy, corporate restructuring, and other contemporary issues 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 investing 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.
