Corporate Finance I

This course provides an introduction to major concepts in finance and investments, such as the time value of money, discounted cash flows, and risk and return. We also examine further how firms decide to finance projects they assess as being worthwhile, and how to make investment decisions. Consideration is also given to capital structure, dividend policy, financial instruments, risk-return trade-offs, financial planning, forecasting, the cost of capital, asset valuation, working capital management, and performance assessment.
