This subject provides learning opportunities that foster basic concepts of finance;
establishes a "finance mind-set" with value creation as a central concept for financial
planning and decision-making in a complex world. Financial markets are places where
investors (suppliers of capital) and firms (consumers of capital) meet and trade.
The first part of this subject examines the theories and techniques that both investors
and firms use to deal with cash flows that occur at different points in time; we look
at valuation problems across several types of capital markets. The second part of
this subject introduces the concept of uncertainty and theories of risk that are central
to an understanding of finance. It introduces a measure of risk and develops a model
of how this risk measure corresponds to a level of expected return on an asset or
project. We integrate this model of risk and return with the valuation of cash flows
through time and consider the evidence on how prices in financial markets are related
to value. Finally, we introduce options, discuss how they are valued, and consider
applications of option valuation.
