Applied Corporate Finance

by Aswath Damodaran

Applied Corporate Finance provides a user's perspective to corporate finance, by posing the three major questions that every business has to answer, and then providing the tools and the analytical techniques needed to answer them. The three questions are: 1. Where do we invest our resources? (The Investment Decision) 2. How should we fund these investments? (The Financing Decision) 3. How much cash can and should we return to the owners? (The Dividend Decision). In summary, this is a book about coming up with real solutions to real problems, using real-time data on real companies.
