Topics include analysis of corporate performance, management of short-term assets, decision framework for capital budgeting, an analysis of the cost and sources of long term capital, time value of money, and integration of concepts of financial management into a total systems approach to business decision making.

Business Finance deals with two types of questions:1) what to do with money, and 2.) How to raise money? The first question involves a choice between consuming and investing, and identifying and analyzing various investment opportunities. The second question requires a financing decision. Both individuals and corporations function as investors, who invest in real assets and financial assets. Financial assets are of particular interest because they involve both an investment decision for the buyer and a financing decision for the seller, or issuer. A number of concepts and methodologies will be explored including the time value of money, net present value, and adjusted present value.
