Applied Corporate Finance
About this book
Aswath Damodaran, distinguished author, Professor of Finance, and David Margolis, Teaching Fellow at the NYU Stern School of Business, have delivered the newest edition of Applied Corporate Finance. This readable text provides the practical advice students and practitioners need rather than a sole concentration on debate theory, assumptions, or models. Like no other text of its kind, Applied Corporate Finance, 4th Edition applies corporate finance to real companies. It now contains six real-world core companies to study and follow. Business decisions are classified for students into three groups: investment, financing, and dividend decisions.

A
final
point
worth
making
here
is
that
everything
that
has
been
said
about
the
relationship
between
interest
rates
and
bond
ratings
could
be
said
more
generally
about
interest
rates
and
default
risk.
The
existence
of
ratings
is
a
convenience
that
makes
the
assessment
of
default
risk
a
little
easier
