Features: This book can serve as an introductory textbook for MBA students studying corporate finance courses, or as an intermediate textbook for undergraduate students. Of course, some professors may believe that this book is also suitable for introductory teaching for undergraduate students. We assume that most students taking this course have already studied or are currently studying courses in accounting, statistics, and economics. These prerequisite courses help students understand some relatively more complex concepts in corporate finance. However, this book is self-contained, and prior knowledge in these fields is not essential. The mathematics covered in this book is limited to elementary algebra.

It mainly includes eight parts: Overview; Value and Capital Budgeting; Risk; Capital Structure and Dividend Policy; Long-Term Financing; Options, Futures, and Corporate Finance; Financial Planning and Short-Term Financing; Special Topics, etc. The content covers many aspects of disciplines such as accounting statements and cash flow; financial markets and net present value; bond and stock pricing methods; returns and risk; capital asset pricing model; arbitrage pricing theory; corporate financing decisions and efficient capital markets; capital structure; long-term financing; dividend policy; long-term liabilities; options and corporate finance; warrants and convertible bonds; leasing; derivative instruments and hedging risk; corporate financial models and long-term planning; cash management; credit management; mergers and acquisitions; financial distress; and multinational corporate finance.
