Corporate Finance

Description from DukeHub

Examines the implications of modern financial theory for various decisions faced by corporate financial officers. The concept of NPV, suitably adjusted to account for taxes, uncertainty, and strategic concerns, is used to analyze how investment and financing decisions interact to affect firm value. Topics include valuation, capital budgeting, capital structure, leasing, the cost of capital, mergers and acquisitions, and international financial management. Theory, empirical evidence, and case analysis all play significant roles in the course. Theory and empirical evidence together yield implications for corporate financial decision making. Case analysis forces students to apply their knowledge of theory and evidence to real-world situations. This course is for Daytime MBA and Accelerated Daytime MBA students.
