Get ready for your final examination in ACCFIN2002: Finance 2 at the University of Glasgow with the most comprehensive exam guide designed for this course. The guide includes exam-style questions and advice on common examination pitfalls. You will gain a clear picture of how the final exam will be assessed and structured, as well as the likely style and range of questions you could see on the real exam. The purpose of this guide is to provide a logical structure for the topics covered in the course, emphasize and explain the important concepts and methods in each topic, and offer initial examples to which the concepts and methods are applied.

Finance 2 aims to consolidate and extend ideas introduced in Finance 1. By means of the concepts and analytical tools learned in Finance 1, the course introduces theories of valuation and capital structure, with an emphasis on their practical implementation and resulting implications. We extend the ideas of asset valuation and the EMH into the area of portfolio theory and investments with a first look at an asset pricing model (CAPM) and its real world implications. The course also brings about various special topics such as risk management, as well as mergers and acquisitions. After finishing this course, students are expected to have insights on crucial elements influencing the investment and financing decisions of a typical firm.

By the end of this course, students should be able to:

Understand and apply the concept of portfolio theory, diversification, the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) and the role it plays in modern.
Describe the nature and type of exposure associated with risk management such as interest rate risk, currency risk and exchange rate differences.
Understand derivative use and apply simple hedging techniques for protection against foreign currency and interest rate risk.
Understand and apply relevant corporate finance topics and concepts such as: optimal capital structure theory with reference to the work of Modigliani and Miller, the drivers of the firm's overall cost of capital, dividend policy theories and analyse the motives and tactics of mergers and acquisitions as the market for corporate control.
