This course explores the key issues in finance from the perspective of financial managers who are responsible for making significant investment and financing decisions. The concept of net present value, suitably adapted to account for taxes, uncertainty, and strategic concerns, is used to analyse how investment and financing decisions interact to affect the value of the firm. Students would also be introduced to the principle of project finance as a viable financing option from both the debt and equity perspective in the value of a firm.
