Fundamentals of Corporate Finance, third Canadian edition, focuses on setting out the basic principles of financial management and applying them to the main decisions faced by the financial manager. The authors do not assume that the readers have a great deal of background knowledge and provide numerical and corresponding written examples to help students to become familiar with the material. The text has a clear and informal writing style with emphasis on practical issues such as explaining concepts and “why” good financial managers use particular equations to make investment and finance decisions. Brealey also applies the tools of finance, such as spreadsheets and calculators.

In the fourth edition of Introduction to Corporate Finance, authors Laurence Booth and Sean Cleary welcome new author Ian Rakita. The addition of a new author further enhances this already great ground up Canadian text. The fourth edition has been revised to be even more user friendly and engaging.

The text continues to provide undergraduate students with the most thorough, accessible, accurate, and current coverage of the theory and application of corporate finance within a uniquely Canadian context. This text will provide students with the skills they need to succeed not only in the undergraduate course, but in their future careers.
