Talk:Corporate finance

"Finance is among the most stereotypically MBA things an MBA will learn. If you want to understand corporate finance, learn thoroughly:

what the implications of the Modigliani-Miller theorem are the time value of money how to calculate the NPV of a project how to calculate the WACC of a project or company how to do a decent DCF Putting it all together, you'd get something called a model. That model will tell you how much any asset that generates cash flows (such as a stock) is worth. People in business think that this might be useful to know."
