COMM_V 370 - Corporate Finance

The purpose of this course is to provide working knowledge of key corporate finance decisions that are important in the life of a corporation and, more generally, to help students acquire an understanding of broad economic issues that are of wide applicability in many areas of corporate finance. The course balances rigorous theoretical content and practical applications.

Learning Objectives

While the main goal of the course is to familiarize students with the fundamental concepts in corporate finance, we will also emphasize these concepts’ practical applications. This will be done through case studies, problem sets, and real-world examples. At the end of the course, students will be able to:

• implement financial analysis and planning
• estimate a project’s cash flows
• estimate a project’s cost of capital
• evaluate capital structure policy
• determine how debt financing affects capital budgeting
• evaluate payout policy
• describe how a company can raise capital
• identify key issues in mergers and acquisitions
