Prepare for your final exam in BMAN30111A: Advanced Corporate Finance at the University of Manchester with this comprehensive exam guide. Tailored for the course unit, it includes exam-style questions, practical advice on common pitfalls, and insights into the exam format and question types. The guide organises course topics logically, highlights key concepts and methods, and provides clear examples to demonstrate their application - helping you master the material and approach exam day with confidence.

BMAN30111A: Advanced Corporate Finance provides an intermediate to advanced exploration of corporate finance, expanding on concepts from previous finance modules. The course focuses on the intuition behind financial theories rather than pure mathematical derivations. Key topics include capital raising (IPOs and SEOs), corporate governance, capital structure theories (with both symmetric and asymmetric information), and debt issuance and valuation. Students will examine theories such as the Modigliani-Miller theorem, trade-off theory, pecking order theory, and agency-related costs of financing. Practical applications, including valuation techniques for IPOs and debt instruments, are integrated throughout the course.

By the end of the course, students will have developed strong analytical skills for assessing corporate finance decisions, including capital structure choices, agency conflicts, and governance mechanisms. They will gain expertise in valuing financial instruments, understanding ownership and control dynamics, and interpreting real-world case studies, particularly from a private equity perspective. This course bridges theory and practice, equipping students with the necessary tools to analyse and navigate complex financial decisions in corporate settings. Students must complete Foundations of Finance A and B (BMAN23000 and BMAN23000B) before enrolling.
