Corporate Finance Fundamentals

Corporate finance answers two questions every business eventually faces: where does the money come from, and where should it go? This course gives you the professional toolkit to answer both. You will read the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement and see exactly how they connect, then estimate the cost of debt and equity, blend them into a weighted average cost of capital, and use that rate to score real projects with net present value and internal rate of return. By the end you can build a discounted-cash-flow case, defend a hurdle rate, and explain to a manager or lender why one investment beats another, all without a finance degree.
