COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This is an introductory course in Finance and the first in a series of required Finance core courses for the
BBA degree. This course together with the next course, Corporate Finance, completes an introduction to
Financial Management using the modern theory of finance. The final required course in the sequence,
Intermediate Finance, introduces advanced topics and explores certain topics in depth.

Firms invest in real assets such as plant and equipment (the Investment decision) and raise money via
personal funds, stocks, bonds or bank loans (the Financing decision). Broadly speaking, Financial
Management is about how these Investment and Financing decisions should be made. This course
explores the first part of Financial Management and introduces the framework, tools and techniques for
making Investment decisions. Specifically, we will cover Valuation, Capital Budgeting, Modern Portfolio
Theory and Equilibrium Risk-Return Relationship.

The required reading for the course constitutes relevant chapters from the book and occasional lecture
handouts. These Handouts will be posted on the course web site a day before each lecture.
