Scope
This course applies economic principles to the financial decisions that businesses make every day, and to the capital markets in which households and firms interact. The course covers topics including project analysis using net present value techniques, risk and return of assets and projects, efficient capital markets, corporate capital structure and dividend policy, and valuation of assets. Cadets will learn methods to analyze individual projects as well as business enterprises as a whole. As the U. S.
