Course objectives
This course focuses on valuation, i.e. understanding the value implications of the firm's investment and financing decisions. We will build on basic concepts such as the time value of money. We will discuss how to determine the firm's cost of capital, the firm's capital structure, and the firm's payout policy; how firms raise capital; and extraordinary events such as mergers and acquisitions. You will also learn implicit and explicit option-features that appear in corporate finance.
The main objective of the course is to master the fundamental concepts that underpin the world of finance. We will discuss some of the cornerstones in the scientific research, and real-world examples from the financial press such as the Wall Street Journal.
