1)	This chapter lays a foundation for what will follow. First, it focuses on the goal of the firm, followed by the five principles that form the foundations of financial management and the role of finance in business.

1)	Capital budgeting involves the decision-making process with respect to investment in fixed assets; specifically, it involves measuring the incremental cash flows associated with investment proposals and evaluating the attractiveness of these cash flows relative to the project’s cost. This chapter focuses on the estimation of those cash flows based on various decision criteria, and how to adjust for the riskiness of a given project or combination of projects.	N/A
2)	Financial analysis can be defined as the process of assessing the financial condition of a firm. The principal analytical tool of the financial analyst is the financial ratio. In this chapter, we provide a set of key financial ratios and a discussion of their effective use.	Yok

4)	This chapter is divided into two sections. The first section includes an overview of the role played by forecasting in the firm’s planning process. The second section focuses on the construction of detailed financial plans, including budgets and pro forma financial statements for future periods of the firm’s operations. A budget is a forecast of future events and provides the basis for taking corrective action and can also be used for performance evaluation. The cash budget and pro forma financial statements provide the necessary information to determine estimates of future financing requirements of the firm. These estimates are the key elements in our discussion of financial planning and budgeting	Yok

7)	In this chapter, the concept of the time value of money is introduced; that is, a dollar today is worth more than a dollar received a year from now. If we are to compare projects and financial strategies logically, we must either move all dollar flows back to the present or out to some common future date.	Yok
8)	We are specifically concerned with bonds. We also look at the concept of the bondholder's expected rate of return on an investment.

9)	In this chapter, we examine the factors that determine rates of return (discount rates) in the capital markets. We are particularly interested in the relationship between risk and rates of return. We look at risk both in terms of the riskiness of an individual security and that of a portfolio of securities.	N/A
10)	Capital budgeting involves the decision-making process with respect to investment in fixed assets; specifically, it involves measuring the incremental cash flows associated with investment proposals, then evaluating the attractiveness of these cash flows relative to the project’s costs. This chapter focuses on the various decision criteria. It also examines how to deal with complications in the capital budgeting process, including mutually exclusive projects and capital rationing.
