FIN 205 - Financial Management

Institution:

University of Rochester

Subject:

Description:

This course centers on how a firm is funded, and on how financial management can help maximize the financial rewards to those who own the firm, while meeting the obligations of the firm to other stakeholders. The effect of timing on the value of cash flows is developed at length, and is applied to the valuation of bonds and stocks. Various facets of stocks and bonds are also introduced, and a brief overview of the stock market is presented. Cash flow concepts are then incorporated into a development of how investment opportunities are analyzed, which includes a discussion of the strengths and weaknesses associated with different analytical methods. The topics of capital market efficiency and portfolio theory are then discussed and tied in to the concept of what investors have sacrificed in order to invest in a firm. This, in turn, is tied in to which investments are worthwhile to a firm's owners.
