Fundamentals of Corporate Finance

Fundamentals of Corporate Finance, 11th Edition, authored by Richard Brealey, Stewart Myers, and Alan Marcus, is an 800-page textbook focused on modern corporate financial management. Published by McGraw-Hill Higher Education, the volume details how corporate managers evaluate investment opportunities in real assets, raise external capital, and influence overall firm value through strategic decision-making.

Instructional modules present quantitative tools designed to support financial analysis and capital allocation. The text details time-value-of-money mechanics, discounted cash-flow analysis, net present value investment criteria, and project analysis alongside risk, return, and opportunity cost of capital calculations. Subsequent chapters explore weighted-average cost of capital estimations, company valuation models, corporate debt policy, dividend payout choices, and risk management techniques.

To assist with quantitative problem sets and coursework practice, Appendix A provides reference tables for present value and future value calculations. The volume serves as a structured resource for students practicing corporate financial analysis skills within academic courses.
