This unit focuses on three core areas: investment decisions, financing decisions, and dividend policy. Students learn how to evaluate investment opportunities, determine the optimal capital structure, and understand how firms manage and distribute profits. The course also emphasizes the importance of balancing risk and return to maximize shareholder value. Through theoretical insights and practical financial modeling skills, the course prepares students to analyze financial strategies, assess corporate performance, and contribute to strategic decision-making in real-world business environments.
In addition to these core topics, the unit places a strong emphasis on developing practical skills in financial modeling. Students will learn how to construct and interpret financial models using spreadsheet software, enabling them to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world business scenarios. By the end of the unit, students will be equipped with a comprehensive understanding of the key financial decisions faced by corporations and the analytical tools required to support effective financial management.
