Course Description & Rationale Finance is an exciting, challenging, and ever-changing discipline. Financial Management II is an advanced managerial finance course that ties together theory and applications of financial management; covering the essential aspects of financial decisions. Financial decisions are primarily concerned with providing solutions to the following problems: (1) what assets should the enterprise acquire? (this is the capital budgeting decision); (2) how should these assets be financed? (this is the capital structure decision); and (3) how should short-term operating cash flows be managed? (this is the working capital decision). This course focuses predominantly on learning the tools and techniques needed to analyze and evaluate financial information. This type of analysis enables the financial manager to identify and solve management problems related to the financial operations of business corporations. It builds on the basic principles covered in the first course in Financial Management.
