Course Description:
Building on the concepts of present value, the focus of this course is on the theory of and methods for
corporate asset selection. This course will help students understand how corporations make important
investment and financial decisions. The goal of the course is to build a foundation of knowledge in
important technical issues such as project mutual exclusivity, capital rationing, risk analysis, and optimal
capital structure.

Essentials of Corporate Finance, 6th edition, by Stephen A. Ross, Randolph W. Westerfield, and
Bradford D. Jordan. The presumption is made that you will have the text material in hand prior to class.

I expect each individual to turn in their own work, although group work is allowed and encouraged. When
working with real word firms, for example the Dow 30 firm assignments, I expect each member of the
group to choose a different firm.
