Chapter 1 presents the notions of present and future values. Chapter 2 includes a review of statistics used in corporate finance. Chapter 3 summarizes the most important lessons in corporate finance. Chapter 4 synthesizes material in each earlier chapter to apply it to valuing projects and making investment decisions. Chapter 5 introduces additional tools to evaluate risk. Finally, Chapter 6 extends traditional financial tools to value risk and opportunities. This book is directed to corporate managers who work with their companies' finance departments and need to understand their work, priorities, and methods.
