Fundamentals of Financial Management

The book does a fine job of describing the basics of financial / cooperate management. It sometimes gets off track, and goes into a bunch of background information, but otherwise provides many examples and multiple methods for solving problems. I tend to use Excel often, and the book does a great job of providing solutions for Excel users. The problems at the end of the chapters are straight forward as well, they literally ask you to find some value or compute something. No vagueness.The only thing I wasn't a fan of is sometimes the book overcomplicates formulas. I sometimes found better, or easier explanations online that were initially confusing in the book.But overall, better than average. I've had far worse books in the past. But somewhat better as well.

Perfect!! was approved by professor class FI 360 Financial Management,That same class came out with a 16th Edition and I rented 14th edition same literature, different years on statements.Hope this helps you nerds party on!!!

This book has a lot of good information in it but there are times when it material is presented very poorly. There is lots of background but not many examples. What bothers me the most is that the authors appeared to try and simplify the text by using references to formulas rather than naming them when discussing them in the text. This may be due to the authors belief (as stated in the text) that students shouldn't have to memorize the formulas because they feel it is more important to understand the concepts. I do understand the philosophy but still, the text needs to make sense.Here are a couple examples from the text: "we can combine Equations 9.1 and 9.2 to construct a new formula, Equation 9.6, for valuing the stock."and"Note too that Equation 9.2 is sufficiently general to handle the case of a zero growth stock, where the dividend is expected to remain constant over time. If g = 0, Equation 9.2 reduces to Equation 9.5: This is the same equation as the one we developed in Chapter 5 for a perpetuity, and it is simply the current dividend divided by the required rate of return."Personally, I find these sentences to be extremely difficult to follow and understand. Other than these issues, the text appears to be fairly useful but I'm not sure it's worth keeping around for reference.

The book is very useful. The examples are very clear. Additionally, in class we have also been using the materials online for quizzes which is really helpful if not time consuming. But the quizzes are very useful at demonstrating the material in the book. Sometimes, the quizzes online are not well worded but we discuss that with our professor.Overall, the book is excellent. Very useful. Fairly easy to understand. It is a good introductory book for finance for non-finance majors.

I needed this book for class and it not only was the right one but it's actually useful. My teacher teaches from the board which can get confusing but this book really comes in handy when it comes learning finance. I have taught myself finance by reading this book alone. I would suggest this book to anyone either trying to learn finance or just relearning it.

I did not like the fact that a loose paper was covered up & was sold to me as a hard cover.Only that I was too busy and never wanted to go through the process of returning. A spade should be called a spade.The money I paid for that book would have been excess to pay for a a new loose paper with an access code.So, I am not really satisfied.

This book was perfect and just what I needed to start my course. Very helpful book especially when having to do assignments.

SCAM- Sent damaged book and then charged me for it!!!!!
