COURSE #:  441

SECTION: 71

COURSE NAME: Finance II 

INSTRUCTOR:  Andrea Eisfeldt

CASEPACK (YES or NO?) :  Yes

FIRST ASSIGNMENT:   The course outline is in the course packet.  Alternatively, you can get a copy off the web page (see below).  To prepare for the first class, you should read the outlines for Lectures 1 and 2.  For subsequent classes, you should read the appropriate lecture outlines prior to coming to class.  You should also remember to bring your name plate to the first and subsequent classes.

At the start of the first class, I will provide you with an overview of the course.  In Lecture 1, we will discuss what is meant by market efficiency, and why this matters – or does not matter – to firms’ financial decision makers.  In Lecture 2, we will review the basic elements involved in determining the correct discount rate for NPV based capital budgeting.  This will in part be a review from Fin I.  It is important to preview the outline for the lectures carefully prior to class.  We will typically cover two lectures per class.

As background for the first class, you should also read Chapters 9 and 13 of Brealey and Myers Principles of Corporate Finance.

The web page will be used as the primary mechanism for distributing documents and news.  The address of the course web page is:
