About this title

Synopsis

Designed to provide students with a conceptual understanding of the financial decision-making process, rather than just introducing them to the tools and techniques of finance, this book includes FinCoach, a Windows-based software, to help learn how to solve practically any mathematical problem in Corporate Finance.

From the Back Cover

Key Benefit: Unique in approach, this introduction to finance provides a conceptual understanding of the financial decision-making process -- rather than just an introduction to the tools and techniques of finance -- and focuses on the interrelationships among the topics covered. Key Topics: . It explores the "big picture" and actual practice -- i.e., financial decision making rooted in current financial theory and in the current state of world economic conditions. Presents the tools, techniques, and equations of financial management but stresses -- and presents in an intuitive way -- the logic and the fundamentals that drive their use. Focuses on the creation of wealth -- emphasizing the concepts of the time value of money, cash flows as opposed to accounting profits, the net present value, and risk-return tradeoffs. Gives strong attention to the capital markets and their influence on corporate financial decisions.
