About this title

Synopsis

The fifth edition of this text has a revised chapter sequence which places valuation earlier in the book. It offers an increased emphasis on the capital market's influence on corporate decisions, has an increased number of basic financial management inserts and incorporates a new section on readings in finance. It also suggests starting points for considering ethical issues related to financial decision-making, contains a new introductory section on capital markets, updates the section on taxes to reflect current tax revisions, compares basic differences in taxes across borders and discusses alternative methods for estimating a project's systematic risk through the use of accounting data as well as the proxy or pure play method. The presentation of capital markets is expanded to include junk bonds, Eurobonds and dual-class recapitalizations. The restructuring of firms is examined and there is a new section on how mergers and acquisitions can enhance business value.

From the Back Cover

Key Benefit: This book provides an introduction to financial decision making that is rooted both in current financial theory and in the current state of world economic conditions. Key Topics: Finance is not presented as a fill-in-the-equation and grind-out-the-numbers discipline, but one in which the output from various tools and techniques are used as input to decisions guided by an understanding of the underlying principles. The authors' objective is to provide readers with this thorough, theory-based and relevant understanding of financial decision making.
