Corporate Finance
This is a compressed corporate finance class, but I will try to cover the entire subject matter in 3 days. I know that this sounds intimidating, especially if you have never taken a corporate finance class before. However, trust me, it is doable. In fact, read this before you go on.
Before you begin
- Syllabus for the class
- Pre-reading on tools you need for finance (if you feel you need to get up to speed)
- Lecture Note packet (Will be available in early January)

The Project
- Project Description. Describes what the project is about and the questions that need to be answered.
- Number Checking: You can check to see whether you are hopelessly off on your numbers (and why) by going to this spreadsheet which contains my computed numbers for each of your companies.
- FAQ: These are some of the issues that have turned up in prior iterations. Check to see if your question is answered here.
- Sample Project Write-Up: My project write up for Disney. Use it as a rough guide but not as the only or even the best template for your own write up.
