Corporate Finance
The objective of this course is to provide a thorough introduction to the fundamental principles of asset valuation and financing in competitive financial markets. The course examines the important issues in corporate finance from a perspective of financial managers who need to make significant investment and financing decisions. We start with the NPV rule, which leads us to the valuation of debt and equity. We then investigate the efficient market hypothesis and examine the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) and the portfolio theories in such a market. We also learn to use the NPV rule to justify capital investment decisions. Option pricing will be the last step in our venture into the world of corporate finance. While this course is not designed to teach an abstract mathematical theory of modern financial economics, a basic theoretical understanding of various topics is essential to competent analysis and intellectual discussion. Furthermore, in examining issues in portfolio diversification, knowledge of basic statistics and spreadsheets will be essential and assumed. Prerequisite: Statistics. Co-requisite: Financial Accounting and/or Managerial Economics.
Managerial Economics
This course provides the concepts and tools of microeconomics most often applied in managerial or business contexts. It focuses on optimal resource-allocation, pricing strategies, and tactical decisions that are made by private firms and public institutions of an economy. Some mathematics will be used but emphasis is placed on understanding the economic implications of the equations. The course will take the form of lectures and discussion in class. Active class participation is encouraged.
Investments
This course will introduce you to major issues currently of concern to all investors in global financial markets. First, you will understand the basic mechanism of financial markets over viewing major players, assets, and conventions. Second, you will understand basic theories of investment analysis. Finally, you will obtain basic skills necessary to implement theories in real financial markets. Throughout this course, students will be equipped with knowledge and skills essential to start investments as an investment professional or a sophisticated individual investor. In addition, if you plan to take elective finance courses at IUJ such as Portfolio Management, Derivatives Markets, and Debt Securities Markets, this course will be an important foundation.
