This unit aims to provide students with a theoretical and practical understanding of the fundamental principles of finance. It introduces students to evaluation models that are used by finance practitioners to evaluate assets and investments. Students will start with the basic principles of time value of money, learning how to calculate repayments on loans and mortgages. This will lead to valuing bonds and shares and understanding the role they play both in the firm and in the market place. Students will also learn how a financial manager evaluates a project taking into consideration the cost of funding the project, its taxation implications and the risk associated with the project. Students will also develop an understanding of the nature of the firm, its objectives and the ethical implications of these objectives.
