With this casebook, students have the opportunity to apply finance principles and concepts to a setting that simulates an actual work environment. Thus, this book creates a bridge between academic learning and applied practice.

Each of the 30 finance cases presents a comprehensive picture of the organization, along with a relevant financial-management challenge that you must solve. The majority of cases are accompanied by spreadsheet models to help you perform analysis and calculations.

Also provided are six mini ethics cases to provoke thought about financial situations with ethical implications.
