Fundamental issues of finance are taught in this course. The course starts with financial statements analysis, introducing students with balance sheets and income statements of corporations. Time value of money, Net Present Value (NPV) and Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis follows. Using these techniques, we go onto valuation of stocks and bonds. Capital investment decisions are examined as well. Course ends with an introduction to the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), which is a neat depiction of the relation between risk and return. Also the course examines the analysis of capital structure of firms, which involves comparing the cost of debt and equity financing. Other topics include payout policy, options and futures, risk management, mergers and acquisitions and financial distress.
