A Testbank is available for the course. This optional material is in the Textbook Center and also is on my website. Finance 300 is structured as a study of the financial objectives of business enterprises, sources of capital, and the financial management of business assets.
Emphasis is on establishing a framework for making financing, investing, and dividend decisions.
It introduces the student to the complexities of managerial finance. Finance is a hybrid between the theories of economics and the rules of accounting and, hence, has many quantitative aspects. A thorough understanding of accounting principles and the mathematics of finance are required. Much of the material covered in finance is relatively new. Much was not in textbooks fifteen years ago.
