Learn to evaluate corporate investment and financing decisions through capital allocation, cost of capital, capital structure, and leverage analysis. You will apply capital allocation principles to identify value-creating opportunities, evaluate projects using net present value (NPV) and real options, and incorporate risk and managerial flexibility into investment decisions. You will also analyze financing sources and apply the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) in project and investment evaluation.

As you progress, you will examine capital structure theories and assess how taxes and financial distress affect firm value. You will evaluate practical financing decisions from financial flexibility and stakeholder perspectives, then analyze operating, financial, and total leverage to understand earnings sensitivity and break-even risk. Designed for learners preparing for advanced finance, investment analysis, or strategy roles, this course connects corporate finance frameworks with practical decision-making. Its integrated, application-focused approach brings together project evaluation, financing choices, and risk analysis in one coherent learning experience. Enroll to strengthen your ability to assess capital allocation and leverage decisions using structured, decision-oriented models.
