Course Description

Welcome to the world of Corporate Finance with the MBA class offered by renowned professor. This immersive course spans 35 hours and 56 minutes, and it is meticulously designed to cover the comprehensive spectrum of corporate finance, ensuring a transformative educational experience. The course has achieved an exceptional average rating of 4.9 out of 5 stars, a testament to its detailed content and enlightening instruction.

Belonging to the Business Administration category, with a specific focus on Corporate Finances, this course is a beacon for those keen on mastering the intricacies of finance in a corporate setting. Whether you are an aspiring financial officer, a manager seeking to broaden your understanding, or an investor looking to make informed decisions, this course will hone your knowledge and skills.

The journey begins with Session 1, an introduction to the class where you will gain an overview of what’s to come and the foundational importance of corporate finance. Session 2 delves into the primary goal within corporate finance: understanding and setting clear objectives. The exploration continues in Session 3, which thoughtfully examines the roles of managers, markets, and morality in financial decisions.

Session 4 bridges the objective function discussions and transitions to the critical topic of risk. Here, the intricacies of assessing risk and return are unraveled in Sessions 5 and 6, where models and the concept of the marginal investor are explored, further highlighting equity risk premiums.

Betas, a vital part of understanding market movements, are thoroughly dissected in subsequent sessions. Session 7 focuses on the Beta Regression while Session 8 investigates the determinants of Betas. This lays the groundwork for the practical application in Session 9 with Bottom Up Betas. Meanwhile, Sessions 10 through 12 navigate the cost of debt, capital, and the transition from earnings to cash flow, an essential conversion for any finance professional.

As you progress, Sessions 13 and 14 introduce time-weighted returns and venture beyond the traditional Net Present Value (NPV) analysis. The practical application of these principles is illustrated in Session 15 through the Home Depot Case Study, providing a real-world example that cements your learning.

Sessions 16 to 20 explore the debt-equity trade-off and unveil the Miller Modigliani Theorem, discussing financing hierarchies and strategies for optimizing the cost of capital. The latter sessions of the course (21-26) focus on designing debt, understanding the nuances of dividends, and the delicate balance required in the dividend trade-off.

The finale of the course addresses valuation in earnest. Throughout Sessions 24 and 25, dividends and valuation principles are tied together, leading to the Grand Finale in Session 26, where all the cumulative knowledge comes together, preparing you for the practical and strategic applications of corporate finance.
