Designed for use in the Corporate Finance class, increasingly important in any skills-based curriculum, Corporate Finance, Fourth Edition features a strong coverage of M&A, bankruptcy, finance, and valuation. The valuation unit covers math from a lawyer’s perspective, focusing on the intuitions behind the valuation techniques in a way that will facilitate interaction with bankers and accountants in practice. Basic Excel skills are taught along the way, and a case study is integrated in the book from beginning to end to illustrate every step of the process. 

New to the Fourth Edition: 

• A fully updated text, including changes to the deductibility of bond interest in the “Big Beautiful Bill”
• New or expanded coverage of leveraged buyouts and private equity funds, liability management exercises, private credit, and venture capital

Professors and students will benefit from:

• A practical, transactional approach to corporate finance
• Organization around four basic units: valuation, capital structure, mergers and acquisitions, and financial distress
• A focus on the quantitative tools on motivating and understanding the business and concepts
• Extensive references to deal documents throughout to establish a theme of the actual transactions to compare to the lines of cases describing how deals go bad
