This is a second-level course that considers the main issues that confront corporate financial managers. The course begins by considering the optimal capital structure of the firm and various tools for capital management. We consider the interaction between the firm's approach to capital management and its weighted-average cost of capital (WACC). We then consider the firm's dividend policy and how dividend imputation may affect the cost of capital. The course takes a very applied perspective in estimating the cost of capital and in considering current issues in practice and methods for valuing a firm in an internally consistent manner. The second part of the course considers how a firm is able to manage various financial risks (particularly interest rate and exchange rate risk) using derivative securities. This leads to a discussion of real option valuation techniques.

Main topics to be covered:

Weighted-Average Cost of Capital
Optimal Capital Structure I
Optimal Capital Structure II
Optimal Capital Structure III
Dividend Imputation and Gamma
Corporate Risk Management I
Corporate Risk Management II
Mergers and Acquisitions
Real Options I
