Objectives

• This module is designed to enable students to analyse and critically evaluate financial choices using investment appraisal techniques, taking into account the cost and sources of capital and the necessity of managing the balance sheet. It will raise awareness of external considerations, such as take-over threats, interest rate movements, and currency fluctuations, which may impinge on decision making. The intention is to cover the major financial problems in such a way as to enable students to make a strategic appraisal of financial problems and to identify different courses of actions for dealing effectively with problems
