FIN 630 - Seminar in Advanced Financial Decision-Making(capstone)

Institution:

Jacksonville University

Subject:

Description:

Prerequisites: FIN 534. This course offers a rigorous application of financial principles to real-world business problems. Topics include modern portfolio theory, efficient market theory, the Modigliani- Miller propositions, and the capital asset pricing model. In addition to the standard classical approach to corporate finance, behavioral finance will also be discussed extensively in the course and students will have an opportunity to explore selected topics in behavioral finance in detail (such as noise trader risk, market overreaction, forward discount bias, and the hubris hypothesis of corporate takeovers). Students are required to perform a net present value analysis of at least one publicly traded firm and present their findings to the seminar. Case studies will allow students to come as close as possible, within the context of a classroom, to the experience of real world decision makers in corporation and investment banks, to recognize the uncertainty and ambiguity that is present in every such decision, and to strengthen skills at group brainstorming.
