Synopsis
This text provides an introduction to financial decision-making that is rooted both in current financial theory and world economic conditions. It presents ten basic principles (or axioms) of finance in the opening chapter and weaves these concepts throughout the book. The student is presented with a cohesive, interrelated subject from which future, as yet unknown problems can be approached. The authors' goal is to provide an understanding of the basic tools and fundamental principles upon which finance is based. This edition shifts coverage of organizational form and taxes to Chapter 1 to present the tax environment early, with its discussion limited to tax questions that will affect financial decision making and expands treatment of risk and rates of return and the concepts of bond and stock valuation.

It also suggests starting points for considering ethical issues related to financial decision-making, contains a new introductory section on capital markets, updates the section on taxes to reflect current tax revisions, compares basic differences in taxes across borders and discusses alternative methods for estimating a project's systematic risk through the use of accounting data as well as the proxy or pure play method. The presentation of capital markets is expanded to include junk bonds, Eurobonds and dual-class recapitalizations. The restructuring of firms is examined and there is a new section on how mergers and acquisitions can enhance business value.
