Subject outline
The aim of the subject is both to provide background information and understanding of the concepts and importance of finance to all students, as well as to suitably prepare students for future subjects comprising a major stream or degree program in finance. The content of the subject will cover the nature of the financial environment and the types of financial decision-making required from both a business and individual perspective. The subject further develops the concept of the time value of money, methods of valuing various financial assets such as shares and bonds, and methods of project evaluation. The subject also focuses on the trade-off between risk and return in relation to financial assets to provide an understanding of modern portfolio theory, and the cost of capital for a firm, and also introduces students to the Efficient Markets Hypothesis and financial options.
