Introduction To Corporate Finance With Answer Sheet

My goal in writing this textbook was to write a concise text, something that is easy for students to comprehend with plenty of examples and exercises, yet a comprehensive book. I hoped to make the topics interesting and applicable in real life in Bangladesh. I tried to present the topics in the book the way I prosem the topics in class. But, probably the most important goal 1 had in my mind was write a book that will contain the theory modified in a manner that the concepts and theories will be applicable to Bangladesh businesses to the process, I made my students at North South University my guinea pigs, who I used to test the untested manu and I have to admit that my students had been very gracious. This is the first edition and therefore, I assume that there will be many mistakes left despite all my efforts. I will really appreciate it very much if the readers point out any error they come across and I will do my best to make the correction as soon as possible. I have a commitment to all the users to make the book as error free as possible. The book is designed as an introductory course for all finance students in undergraduate programs in business and as an introductory text for MBA students. This book does contain fairly advanced concepts and can be used in more advance finance courses. It combines the theoretical concepts with practical applications and what is unique in this textbook is that it provides the necessary modifications to make the general theory applicable to the firms in Bangladesh In the digital world of these days, I assumed that the students will be using advance technology which enhances student skills and helps them absorb a lot more than what they would otherwise can. Some illustrations are provided about how to use financial calculator for the problems included at the end of chapters. The understanding of these tools will definitely help finance graduates advance in their career and apply these tools in real life situations. There are plenty of illustrations where users will know that the general concepts can be applied in real life. I have included solutions to many of the chapter-end problems to assist students who are somewhat uncertain about the procedures they are using in solving specific problems. For those colleagues who are considering using this text in the class room may contact me at North South University for detailed solutions to most of the chapter-end problems. I would also like to get feedback from them I have to thank some special people in my life that encouraged me to go ahead and complete the project and at the top of the list is my daughter, Maysoon A. Sharif, who I really needed to complete the project Special thanks go to my best friends, Nabi Newaz Mahmud and Ali Newaz Khan for all their encouraging words. Special thanks to a young lady by the name Ananna Roy, a student of mine, and a guest officer at the Office of Graduate Studies of North South University and Shah Poran for the excellent graphic works I received from him. I am grateful to Mr. ABM Mizan, Assistant Officer at the Office of Graduate Studies of North South University for his help in bringing out the second edition. Special thanks go to all my students. I tried to make the book error free, but I am sure I have not been able to weed all of them out. I do take complete responsibility for all the errors that remain in the text.
