Principles of Corporate Finance https://www.mheducation.com/cover-images/Jpeg_400-high/1260013901.jpeg 13 9781260013900 Brealey, Principles of Corporate Finance, 13e, describes the theory and practice of corporate finance. We hardly need to explain why financial managers have to master the practical aspects of their job, but we should spell out why down-to-earth managers need to bother with theory. Throughout this book, we show how managers use financial theory to solve practical problems. Much of this book is concerned with understanding what financial managers do and why. But we also say what financial managers should do to increase company value. Some of the biggest changes in this edition were prompted by the tax changes enacted in the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act passed in December 2017. In the current edition, we have also continued to augment the international content as well as a number of chapters that have been thoroughly rewritten. For example, the material on agency issues in Chapter 12 has been substantially revised. Chapter 13 on market efficiency and behavioral finance is now fresher and more up to date. Chapter 23 on credit risk focuses more on the practical issues of forecasting default probabilities.

Assignable End-Of-Chapter Material -

Assignable, gradable end-of-chapter content within Connect helps students learn to solve problems and apply the concepts in finance.

Algorithmic problems:

Algorithmic problems are auto-graded exercises using different numeric values each time a problem is served up to the student. This gives students practice in working a problem several times – same question, but different numbers each time. This also deters cheating because each student in a class or lab receives a slightly different version of the problem and correct answer.

Excel Simulations:

Excel Simulation Problems allow students to practice their Excel skills, including financial functions and formulas, within the context of Corporate Finance. Questions feature animated and narrated "Help" and "Show Me" tutorials for students, as well as automatic feedback and grading for both students and professors.

NEW! Interactive Data Problems:

Interactive Data Problems are assignable in Connect and allow students to visualize and interact with data in different ways. Students use this tool to manipulate data and answer a variety of accompanying problems that test multiple levels of understanding.
