This title is a Pearson Global Edition. The Editorial team at Pearson has worked closely with educators around the world to include content, which is especially relevant to students outside the United States.   About the Book   Methodology that Connects Theory to Practice The Law of One Price: A Unifying Principle of Valuation. The Law of One Price is used as a framework, reflecting the modern idea that the absence of arbitrage is the unifying concept in valuation. This theme is explicitly introduced in Chapter 3, revisited in each Part Opener, and integrated throughout the text--motivating all major concepts. This methodology directly connects theory to practice, and unifies what might appear to students as disparate topics that comprise the course syllabus (corporate finance, investments, and valuation). Options for Teaching Risk and Return. Chapter 3 briefly introduces the concept of risk and return. Using the no-arbitrage concept, the reasoning behind evaluating risk relative to a benchmark is explained conceptually and allows for use of the concept of risk and return in early chapters. Later, the structure of Part IV is flexible and allows instructors to opt for brief or comprehensive coverage of the topic. Emphasis of Capital Budgeting and Valuation. Capital budgeting and valuation is presented in two distinct stages. The first, which appears in Chapter 8, focuses on cash flows, while the second stage focuses on capital budgeting and valuation in the real world in Chapter 18 and the capstone Chapter 19. Learning Aids that Teach Students to ‘Think Finance’ A Simplified Presentation of Mathematics. One of the hardest parts of learning finance is mastering the jargon, math, and non-standardized notation. Corporate Finance: The Core systematically uses: Notation Boxes: Each chapter opens by defining the variables and acronyms used in the chapter as a 'legend' for students' reference. Timelines: Introduced in Chapter 4, timelines are emphasized as the important first step in solving every problem that involves cash flows. Numbered and Labeled Equations: The first time a full equation is given in notation form it is numbered. Key equations are titled and revisited in the summary and in end papers. Using Excel boxes: Provide hands-on instruction of Excel techniques and include screenshots to serve as a guide for students. Spreadsheet Tables: Select tables are available as Excel files, enabling students to change inputs and manipulate the underlying calculations. Practice Finance to Learn Finance: Working problems are the proven way to cement and demonstrate an understanding of finance. Concept Check questions at the end of each section enable students to test their understanding and target areas in which they need further review. End-of-chapter problems written personally by Jonathan Berk and Peter DeMarzo offer instructors the opportunity to assign first-rate materials to students for homework and practice with the confidence that the problems are consistent with chapter content. Both the problems and solutions, which were also written by the authors, have been class-tested and accuracy checked to ensure quality. Data Cases present in-depth scenarios in a business setting with questions designed to guide students' analysis. Many questions involve the use of Internet resources and Excel techniques. Study Aids with a Practical Focus. To be successful, students need to master the core concepts and learn to identify and solve problems that today's practitioners face. Common Mistakes boxes alert students to frequently made mistakes stemming from misun
