Synopsis

A  strong grounding in the modern theories of finance will provide students
with  the  ability  to  critically assess materials from  the  contemporary
finance  literature.   This  unit  provides  a  nexus  between  theoretical
developments  in  finance  and  their application  to  corporate  financial
decision  making.   Emphasis  will  be  given  to  decision  making   under
conditions  of  certainty and uncertainty, the value additivity  principle,
capital  structure  and  cost of capital, dividend  policy,  asset  pricing
models and option pricing theory.
