This book is derived in part from its sister text Principles of Corporate Finance.The spirit of the two books is similar.Both apply modern finance to give students a working ability to make financial decisions.However, there are also substanial differences between the two books.First. we provide much more detailed discussion of the principles and mechanics of the time value of money.This material underlies almost all of this text, and we spend a lengthy chapter providing extensive practice with this key concept. In addition, we provide many end-of-chapter student exercises using the recently expanded web based educational version of Standard and Poor's Market Insight.This resource provides a wide variety of financial statement data,stock market return history,and analyst coverage of hundreds of stocks,amking it well suited for extended student projects on company and industry analysis.
