Corporate Finance , by Ross, Westerfield, Jaffe, and Jordan emphasizes the modern fundamentals of the theory of finance, while providing contemporary examples to make the theory come to life. The authors aim to present corporate finance as the working of a small number of integrated and powerful intuitions, rather than a collection of unrelated topics. They develop the central concepts of modern finance: arbitrage, net present value, efficient markets, agency theory, options, and the trade-off between risk and return, and use them to explain corporate finance with a balance of theory and application. The Eleventh Edition includes many exciting new research findings as well as an enhanced Connect Finance , now with even more student learning resources. Connect is proven to deliver better results for students and instructors. Proven content integrates seamlessly with enhanced digital tools to create a personalized learning experience that provides students with precisely what they need, when they need it. With Connect, the educational possibilities are limitless.
This book is self explanatory with great examples. The authors Ross, Westerfield, & Jaffe offer an Online Learning Center for this book which has self-Study software, Narrated Student Power Points, Interactive FinSims and much more. These tools are very helpful to the student. I am excited and very pleased with this textbook. Jakki

I needed this book for class and it seems to have a lot of answers in it to meet my assignment criteria. Of couse, reading it for PLEASURE is not what I do, but it's chock full of good business information.

This manual gives you step by step solutions for every problem. Some books only give even or odd answers, but this one works out every one. Great if you're stumped and need a few hints, or want to check your answers.
Appropriate complement with the Text
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
The excellent explanation of profound finance thoery using plain language and example with suitable analogy makes the contents clear and concise for student studying under instruction or privately. Besides, the manual provide short listed main points with sufficient exercises giving students practices of relevant practical hand-on experience on real life calculation. Nevertheless, this manual should be used together with the original text which is a comprehensive guide towards corporate finance in theory & practice.
Excellent text

We use this book for both the undergraduate Intermediate Finance and MBA Introduction to Finance courses at University of Central Florida. This book is very easy to read no what your background in finance is. It serves as an excellent reference as well. It seems there are a few people here who try to counterbalance each review that is awarded a 5-star rating with one that is a 1-star rating although their arguments do not hold water. My suggestion is to take a look at this book for yourself and simply return it if you're not happy with it. The fact the so many universities have adopted this text AND continue to use it says a lot.
