FIN 415 Corporate Finance Beedles,William Scan Chapters 1 – 3 of Principles of Corporate Finance, eighth edition, by Brealey, Myers, and Allen. We will spend no class time on these chapters since you learned this material thoroughly in FIN 310. (As a check of your memory, what is the yield to maturity if you pay $877 for bond with an 8% coupon that has 10 years left to maturity?) However, your looking them over might be a helpful review. From Chapter 4, study Sections 4.1 – 4.4; scan 4.5.
FIN 701 Financial Management Beedles,William Scan Chapter 1 of Essentials of Corporate Finance, fifth edition, by Ross, Westerfield, and Jordan. If you’ve recently studied financial accounting, all you probably need to do is scan Chapters 2 and 3. If you’re rusty on financial accounting, you will probably profit if you read Sections 2.1-2.2 of Chapter 2; scan 2.3-2.4. Read 3.1; study 3.2-3.3; scan 3.4; read 3.5. Be certain you understand the DuPont Identity.
