    Instructors 

    A/P Chen Renbao, A/P Tan Siew Kuan, Ruth, and Dr. Jiekun Huang 

    Course Objectives 
    This course is designed to give students the capacity to understand and evaluate the theory 
    and apply, in real world situations, the techniques that have been developed in corporate 
    finance.  The following broad questions will be addressed.  How should a firm decide whether 
    to invest in a new project?  How much debt and equity should a firm use to finance its 
    activities?  How should a firm pay its investors?  What determines the value of a firm? 
    Examples and cases will be used to illustrate the concepts taught in lectures. 

    Textbook and References 
    Main Textbook: Modern Financial Management (RWJJ), By Ross, Westerfield, Jaffe and Jordan, 
    McGraw‐Hill International Edition, 8th edition, 2008.  It is advised that students purchase a 
    new copy of the textbook with an S&P card.  The card has a 6‐month validity, which enables 
    students to access online financial data for some tutorial questions.  If you get the text from 
    your senior, you may not have a valid S&P card. 

    References: Principles of Corporate Finance, By Brealey, Myers, and Allen, McGraw‐Hill

    Closed Book Tests 
    No formula sheet will be provided in the tests.  However, students are allowed to bring in 
    ONE (1) sheet (A4 size) of formulas.  Only NUS approved calculators are allowed.  The tests 
    may consist of open‐ended questions that examine the overall understanding and creativity 
    of the student with respect to the course materials. 

    Class Participation 
    Students are expected to read suggested readings in advance of class and to actively 
    participate in class discussions.  Extra credit will be granted to those who can contribute 
    towards class discussions.  

    Case Assignments 
    Three cases will be discussed in this course.  Each class will be broken into 9 groups for case 
    assignments.  For each case, there will be three primary groups and six critique groups.  
    Groups 1A, 1B, & 1C will take on the primary responsibility for case 1; groups 2A, 2B, & 2C for 
    case 2, and groups 3A, 3B, & 3C for case 3.  The 3 primary groups for the case will each submit 
    a double‐spaced, typewritten comprehensive report not exceeding 15 pages (including texts, 
    tables and appendices) by the due date.  In addition, they have to distribute copies of their 
    reports to the other 6 critique groups by the same due date.  The 6 critique groups are 
    required to submit a one‐page critique of the reports in class before the case presentation.  
    During case presentation, the three groups with primary responsibility will be given 30 
    minutes each to present their analysis.  All students are expected to actively participate in the 
    case discussions.  Case assignment and guidelines will be made available on IVLE two weeks 
    before the due date. 

    Tutorial and Discussion 
    Students are expected to come prepared for the tutorial.  Each tutorial consists of a number 
    of questions and/or mini‐cases related to topics that are covered in class.  These questions 
    may require downloading and analysis of financial data.  Please note that group‐based 
    answers will be collected for grading.  The group membership is the same as that for case 
    study.  Based on the quality of the submissions, certain groups will be requested to present 
    the tutorial answers in class. 

    Submission Policy 
    ALL group tutorial answers and case reports must be submitted by the due date and time. 
    Late submissions will be penalized.
