课程名称：企业财务导论 课程概述： 本课程简要介绍财务的基本原理，强调其在个人财务、企业决策和金融中介等多种现实情况中的应用。关键概念和应用包括：货币的时间价值、风险与回报的权衡、资本成本、利率、退休储蓄、抵押贷款融资、汽车租赁、资本预算、资产评估、折现现金流（DCF）分析、净现值、内部收益率、障碍率和回收期等。 课程大纲： 第1周：货币的时间价值 本模块将介绍财经中一个极为重要的基础概念——货币的时间价值。在观看视频讲座之前，建议先阅读课程的简要预习材料，尤其是“课程动机概述”和“货币的时间价值概述”，以获取更多的背景信息和动机。最后，注意“测验问题答案输入”，以免在问题集上产生混淆。 第2周：利率 在这一模块中，我们将结束货币的时间价值主题，并讨论通货膨胀，然后引入第二个主题——利率，以及第三个主题——折现现金流分析。到这一模块结束时，您应该能够熟练进行现金流的折现和复利计算，以便更好地评估不同的索赔并做出财务决策。 第3周：折现现金流分析 本模块通过一个资本预算案例继续讨论折现现金流分析。尽管您可能会想下载或查看我在讲座中使用的Excel文件“Tablet Case Spreadsheet.xlsx”，但理解材料并非必要。到这一模块结束时，您应该能够评估索赔并在现金流的时间和利息的复利计算为任意情况下做出融资决策。通过完成问题，您还将对与退休储蓄、住房融资和再融资、汽车租赁等相关的真实财务决策更加自信。 第4周：投资回报 这一模块结束了对折现现金流分析的讨论，并以投资回报的主题作为课程的结尾。到这一模块结束时，您应该能够理解自由现金流的概念，并运用一系列预测驱动因素来预测未来的自由现金流。这些都是基本财务模型的一部分，我们将利用这些模型来对平板项目做出决策并分析我们评估的假设。
Name:Week 1: Time Value of Money
Description:Welcome to Introduction to Corporate Finance! This first module will introduce you to one of the most important foundational concepts in Finance, the time value of money. Before diving into the Video lectures, I encourage you to take a look at the brief pre-reading for the course. Specifically, have a look at “Big Picture Course Motivation,” for additional motivation and context for the course, “Time Value of Money Overview,” for a motivation and context for our first topic, and “Quiz Problem Answer Input.” This last note is particularly important to avoid confusion with the problem sets. Then, go to the Video Lectures and start learning Finance!
Name:Week 2: Interest Rates
Description:In this module, we wrap up the Time Value of Money topic with a discussion of inflation before moving on to our second topic, Interest Rates, and introducing our third topic, Discounted Cash Flow Analysis. By the end of this module, you should feel comfortable with discounting and compounding arbitrary cash flow streams in order to value different claims and make better financial decisions.
Name:Week 3: Discounted Cash Flow Analysis
Description:This module continues our discussion of discounted cash flow analysis by way of a capital budgeting case. (You might want to download or view the Excel file, “Tablet Case Spreadsheet.xlsx,” that I use in the lectures, but it is not necessary for understanding the material.) By the end of this module, you should feel comfortable valuing claims and making financing decisions in which the timing of the cash flows and compounding of interest is arbitrary (e.g., annual, semi-quarterly, monthly, etc.). Having worked through the problems, you should also be more comfortable with real world financial decision making related to retirement savings, home financing and refinancing, auto leases, and other scenarios.
Name:Week 4: Return on Investment
Description:This module closes out our discussion of discounted cash flow analysis and caps off the course with a discussion of return on investment. By the end of this module, you should feel comfortable with the notion of free cash flow and the ability to apply a set of forecast drivers to project free cash flows into the future. These are some of the elements of a basic financial model, which we will use to come to a decision about the tablet project and to analyze the assumptions behind our valuation.
This course provides a brief introduction to the fundamentals of finance, emphasizing their application to a wide variety of real-world situations spanning personal finance, corporate decision-making, and financial intermediation. Key concepts and applications include: time value of money, risk-return tradeoff, cost of capital, interest rates, retirement savings, mortgage financing, auto leasing, capital budgeting, asset valuation, discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis, net present value, internal rate of return, hurdle rate, payback period.
