Title overview

Foundations of Finance presents the key concepts of finance, bolstered by real-world vignettes, cases and problem exercises. Using 5 principles, the authors introduce a multi-step approach to financial problem solving that appeals to students' (at all levels) math and numerical skills.

The 10th Edition continues to focus on valuation and incorporates vignettes based on financial decisions faced by real firms. Featuring new lecture videos, financial thinking, user feedback and changes inspired by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, the text equips you to effectively deal with issues in an ever-changing financial environment.
