Our Corporate Finance tutoring team offers tutoring for Missouri University of Science & Technology’s Managerial Finance (Business 427) class. This class is often taught by Professor YingChou Lin. The prerequisite of this class is Finance 305/405. The objective of the course is to prepare students to make sound financial and business decisions and therefore the topics include financial policy, capital investment analysis, dividend policy, capital structure, and other corporate finance issues.
The required text book for this class is Corporate Finance: Linking Theory to What Companies Do by Graham, Smart & Meggison. An optional text book by Brigham and Ehrhardt titled Financial Management: Theory and Practice is also recommended. These text books are similar to Corporate Finance by Ross, Westerfield, Jaffe and Jordan or Fundamentals of Financial Management by VanHorne & Wachowicz.
The class also has required readings some of which are very current and include Aswath Damodaran’s blog post on the Facebook IPO. Other reads are from the Journal of Applied Corporate Finance, Journal of Financial Economics, WSJ and Bloomberg. While this Managerial Finance class is taught over 3 months, it does cover quite a bit of ground. This class would be rated moderate to challenging when compared to other managerial finance classes at the undergraduate level.
Not all our tutors have these two text books (Corporate Finance by Graham, Smart & Meggison and Financial Management by Brigham and Ehrhardt) but the content covered by these textbooks is found in most textbooks at the graduate level and so all our corporate finance tutors are able to tutor students in this course.
