(BMAN23000B) Foundations of Finance B covers key topics including asset valuation, portfolio analysis, the capital asset pricing model, arbitrage pricing theory, and option pricing. It also explores the Net Present Value (NPV) criterion for investment decision-making - focusing on its rationale and calculation under uncertainty - as well as the implications of capital structure and dividend decisions. Entry requires a pass in either Financial Decision Making (BMAN10522/10522(M)) at 40% or Fundamentals of Finance (BMAN10552) at 60%.

The programme aims to extend the fundamental concepts of modern finance introduced in the first year by deepening understanding of asset valuation and core theoretical models. By the end of the course, students will be able to apply the NPV decision rule, distinguish between the assumptions and implications of various finance models, and assess the impact of factors such as inflation, taxation, risk, and corporate financing decisions, including dividend policies - on firm value.
