    3 Credit Hours Prerequisites: FIN 300 This course provides students with an overview of the basic interaction of financial institutions and the firm. Among the topics covered are capital structure, financial intermediation, initial and seasoned public offerings, corporate reorganization and bankruptcy, and financing in imperfect markets. Students will examine the available corporate securities that firms can use to finance investment, such as corporate and junk bonds, bank loans, common and preferred equity, commercial paper, securitization, as well as some recent innovations. Discussion will focus on the design, the issuing process and the pricing of these composite securities. Despite the apparent exclusive focus on capital, the tenor of this course will neither abandon nor obscure the fundamental principle of the priority of labor over capital.
  • 3.00 Credits

    3 Credit Hours Prerequisites: FIN 300 The objective of this course is to study the major decision-making areas of managerial finance and some selected topics in financial theory. The course reviews the theory and empirical evidence related to the investment and financing policies of the firm and attempts to develop decision-making ability in these areas. Areas of finance not covered in earlier courses such as leasing, mergers and acquisitions, complex valuations, risk management, security design, and real options are addressed, while other areas that were covered in earlier courses are explored in greater depth and more rigorously. These include investment decision-making under uncertainty, cost of capital, static and dynamic capital structure, pricing of selected financial instruments and corporate liabilities, and dividend policy. The definition of stakeholders will be expanded from the pure finance theory base of shareholders (the firm's owners) to include employees, customers, debt holders, vendors, and community. Finance theory does not readily lend itself to addressing the interests of this expanded stakeholder base, but finance practice, if properly formed, can embrace the principle of the common good.
