MBA 5142 - Managerial Finance

Managerial Finance introduces students to key functions of financial management of a corporation. Emphasis is on theory and practice that financial managers need to master to effectively cope with routine problems and to respond to changes. Rather than teaching time-honored rules of thumb, this course is designed to teach how financial managers use financial theory to solve practical problems. This course teaches what financial managers should do and why to increase company value. Topics will be covered through lectures, quantitative problems, discussions, hands-on-mini-case assignments, and a research project. Topics covered include the financial environment, financial planning, risk-return trade off, asset pricing models, asset valuation, capital budgeting, cost of capital, capital structure, dividend policy, and working capital management. Prerequisite(s): Enrollment open to MBA majors only.
