Caracteristici

Valuation Principle Organizing Framework

The Valuation Principle provides students with a cohesive understanding of why they are learning the concepts and tools in their first finance course: to make decisions that increase firm value

    * Chapter 3, The Valuation Principle: The Foundation of Financial Decision Making, introduces the framework and explains the need to value costs and benefits in order to make good financial decisions.
    * Valuation Principle Connection Part Openers explain how the topics in that part relate back to the Valuation Principle.

Study Aids with a Practical Focus

To be successful, students need to identify, solve, and analyze the results of problems that today’s practitioners face.

    * Guided Problem Solutions (GPS) are examples that accompany every important concept using a consistent problem-solving methodology that breaks the solution process into three steps: Plan, Execute, and Evaluate.
    * Common Mistake boxes alert students to frequently made mistakes stemming from misunderstanding core concepts and calculations
    * Financial Calculator keystrokes within GPS boxes and instructional appendices instruct students to solve problems with this tool.
    * Using Excel boxes describe Excel techniques and include screenshots to serve as a guide for students using this technology.

Applications that Reflect Real Practice

Fundamentals of Corporate Finance features actual companies and practitioners in the field.

    * Chapter-Opening Interviews with recent college graduates now working in the field of finance underscore the relevance of these concepts to students who are encountering them for the first time.
    * Practitioner Interviews from notable professionals are featured in many chapters.

End-of-Chapter Materials Reinforce Learning

    * MyFinanceLab Summaries present the key points and conclusions from each chapter, provide a list of key terms with page numbers, and indicate online practice opportunities

Simplified Presentation of Mathematics

Because one of the hardest parts of learning finance is mastering the math and non-standardized notation, Fundamentals of Corporate Finance systematically uses:

    * Notation Boxes. Each chapter begins with a Notation Box that defines the symbols and abbreviations used in the chapter and serves as a ‘legend’ for students’ reference.
    * Numbered and Labeled Equations. The first time a full equation is given in notation form it is numbered. Key equations are titles and revisited in the summary and end papers.
    * Spreadsheet Tables. Select tables are available on the textbook Web site as Excel files, enabling students to change inputs and manipulate the calculations.

Practice Finance to Learn Finance

    * Concept Check Questions at the end of each section enable students to test their understanding and target areas in which they need further review.
    * End-of-chapter problems written personally by Jonathan Berk, Peter DeMarzo, and Jarrad Harford offer instructors the opportunity to assign first-rate materials to students for homework and practice. Both problems and solutions, which were also written by the authors, have been accuracy checked and class tested to ensure quality.

MyFinanceLab

MyFinanceLab, a fully integrated homework and tutorial system, solves one of the biggest teaching problems in finance courses: students learn better when they practice by doing homework problems, but grading complex multipart problems is time-consuming. MyFinanceLab offers

    * Textbook problems online
    * Algorithmically generated values for more practice
    * Partial credit
    * Personalized study plans
    * Extra help for students
    * Online Gradebook
