FUNDAMENTALS OF CORPORATE FINANCE

Abstract

This book was designed and developed explicitly for a fi rst course in business or corporate fi nance, for both fi nance majors and non-majors alike. In terms of background or prerequisites, the book is nearly selfcontained, assuming some familiarity with basic algebra and accounting concepts, while still reviewing important accounting principles very early on. The organization of this text has been developed to give instructors the flexibility they need. Two important changes have been made to the ninth edition chapter organization, one of which is the exciting addition of a behavioral finance chapter in the Alternate Edition. Also, the chapter on options and corporate finance, Chapter 14 in the eighth edition, has been moved to the Alternate Edition.
