Exercises cover the creation and analysis of financial statements. Quizzes test comprehension of materials provided in the course.

  • How much to invest?
  • Where to obtain capital?
  • What mix of equity and debt to use?
  • What credit rates and terms to negotiate?
  • How much financial risk to take?
