Corporate Finance: Theory and Practice

Corporate Finance is the intended textbook at the MBA level as well as undergraduates at higher-level schools. Throughout the text, real companies and real data are used in examples and exercises. It asks you to combine theory and data in order to make an investment, financing, and dividend decisions. But rather than making these decisions in a hypothetical environment, you analyze real data for real companies.

The Second Edition additional resources include:

  • Links and support from the Real Companies, Real Time in-text exercises

  • Extra practice problems and solutions

  • Periodically updated data for the companies analyzed in the text

  • Excel Worksheets for problems in the text

  • Wall Street Journal Business Extra Reading Room (A set of articles and discussion questions related to various topics cited within the text.)

  • Online Study Guide (Students can purchase this eGrade-based tutorial online via the text's web site.)

  • Numerous instructor resources
