This course introduces basic techniques and
concepts necessary to effectively manage the
limited financial resources while evaluate
various investment opportunities. In this
regard, students will learn the 4 principles of
finance and apply them to value securities,
decide whether to accept or reject projects, and
forecast streams of cash flows. Moreover,
through intensive applications, this course
aims to instill the idea that finance is all
around us and that financial decisions
(whatever complex they might be perceived)
stem from simple rational, common sense sets
of basics.
