Product Description
This book focuses on critical financial concepts, skills, and technological applications required by every M.B.A. in the twenty-first-century workplace. It's a lean textbook that provides an in-depth treatment of all essential topics in corporate finance, yet it can be completed in a single semester. This concise text includes Excel Tool Kits corresponding to each chapter and showing how calculations used in the chapter are done in Excel. These useful models include explanations and screen shots that show you how to use many of the features and functions of Excel, enabling the Tool Kits to serve as self-taught tutorials on Excel. This text also features Mini Case Spreadsheets, which are Excel spreadsheets that perform the calculations required in the Mini Cases. This new edition includes features that allow you to do "what-if" analysis on a real-time basis in class. Another unique feature is Web Safaris, which are links that facilitate Internet searches for useful financial data. Each has a specific goal, such as finding the current spreads between Treasury bonds and rated bonds. The Web Safaris walk you through navigating to the desired information. Each chapter of the text has a "Build a Model" problem where you start with a spreadsheet that contains financial data, plus instructions for solving a particular problem. The model is partially completed with headings but no formulas, so you practice building a financial model. The text also includes Cyberproblems, which require you to go to specific websites and answer a series of questions. The answers are then available on your instructor's website.

 A well-written book June 27, 2007
I used this textbook for one of my graduate level finance classes, and I just loved the book! It's very well-written, and covers all the basic premises of finance (PV, FV, etc), and then goes on to more advanced stuff (Equity and Fixed Income Valuation, etc). The textbook requires some knowledge of accounting for more advanced topics. Overall, I found the book easy-to-read and easy-to-follow. I found the book useful for the CFA Level I exam preparation, as it gives in-breadth explanation of major concepts.

Amazon shipped me a $30 book in place of this textbook. Nice trick, I hope I don't have problem receiving a refund. I needed this textbook for class, now I have to shop somewhere else. Great job Amazon, count me as a former customer.
Good textbook November 10, 2006
It explains everything clearly. I have another finance book with the same type of content but this one is definitely easier to understand. Recommend it.
 Trying to Impress the Reader November 10, 2006
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
This text is written for an audience with a solid grasp of economic theory and finance. The chapters build on the vocabulary of the one preceeding it but also assumes the reader is fluent in the terminology and it's use. While answers are supplied to self test problems how to arrive at those answers is not provided. The test bank exams require absolute grasp of all variations of the problems and multiple choice answers includ likely results wich are wrong, so selecting between the correct answer and other answers which would result from common error such as a mis-set financial calculator, are provided.

For those who are interested in getting knowledge in finance, this is an excellent source. Besides a friendly theory explanation, all chapters bring a list of exercises to set the most important points covered in each one. I do recommend it.
