  learning objectives:
  Learning objectives: Students learn to be aware that individual’s actions in corporate finance are evaluated in terms of generating income, while other factors that influence behavior in businesses mostly go ignored. They gain basic skills and knowledge in financial mathematics and learn which tools to use when making decisions about investments and financing measures. When applying the tools they learned about, students take into account the fact that decisions are usually long term and that it cannot be taken for granted (especially with financing decisions) that all parties are equally well informed. In addition to learning how to incorporate risk considerations into decision-making, the students also come to understand that the effects of taxes should not be ignored when making finance decisions.
  
  

  course content:
  Net present value and internal interest rate, investment decisions under certainty, investment decisions under uncertainty, traditional forms of financing, capital structure policy and dividend policy, risk management with futures trading
