Product Description
The best-selling Fundamentals of Corporate Finance (FCF) is written with one strongly held principle– that corporate finance should be developed and taught in terms of a few integrated, powerful ideas. As such, there are three basic themes that are the central focus of the book: 1) An emphasis on intuition—underlying ideas are discussed in general terms and then by way of examples that illustrate in more concrete terms how a financial manager might proceed in a given situation. 2) A unified valuation approach—net present value (NPV) is treated as the basic concept underlying corporate finance. Every subject covered is firmly rooted in valuation, and care is taken to explain how particular decisions have valuation effects. 3) A managerial focus—the authors emphasize the role of the financial manager as decision maker, and they stress the need for managerial input and judgment. The Ninth Edition continues the tradition of excellence that has earned Fundamentals of Corporate Finance its status as market leader. Every chapter has been updated to provide the most current examples that reflect corporate finance in today’s world. The supplements package has been updated and improved, and with the new Excel Master online tool, student and instructor support has never been stronger.

 Great book February 8, 2009

Great book that covers a wide range of topics, from financial statement basics to bond valuation, investment decisions and dividend policy. The text is clear and sometimes humorous, a lot of problems enable self-testing. The authors present general theories but also they keep in mind real-world applications. I highly recommend it.

I bought this book for my finance class. It's my first finance book, so it's difficult for me to judge whether it's a good finance book or not. Though I can say that the book is easy to read and the best part for me was that it provided a website with chapters presentations, exercises, and quizes, which really helped me to prepare for the tests. In general, I think that the authors did a good job to introduce finance to people who are not familiar with the subject.
The most riveting book on finance I have ever read! August 1, 2002

Hey, it's a TEXTBOOK. Since my professor didn't know JACK about the future value of my education, let alone money, I had to rely on Fundamentals of Corporate Finance to teach me. It wa clear, concise, and had some great practical problems. The CD-ROM made an excellent beer coaster, too.

The book arrived in the time promised. It was in better condition than had been promised - the book was rated as used; however, it was brand new.
It's a great book! February 24, 2009
