Overview

Ross, Westerfield, and Jordan's Fundamentals of Corporate Finance (13th Edition) is one of the most widely assigned corporate finance texts, building the analytical toolkit students need to value assets and make financial decisions. It opens with an introduction to corporate finance, financial statements, taxes, and cash flow, working with financial statements, and long-term financial planning, then develops the core of finance — the time value of money, discounted cash flow valuation, bond and stock valuation, net present value and other investment criteria, and capital investment decisions. The later chapters cover risk and return and the security market line, the cost of capital, raising capital, capital structure, dividend policy, working capital management, international finance, and options. This study guide is built to match the textbook chapter for chapter, so you review in the same order your professor teaches and can practice the calculations the course tests. It is an independent, aligned study guide — not the textbook and not a copy of it — focused on the key formulas, concepts, and problem-solving so you can review high-yield material efficiently for exams.

Aligned with undergraduate corporate finance courses, with practice that mirrors the time-value, valuation, and capital-budgeting calculations tested on course midterms and finals.
