Corporate Finance Study Guide
MAF302 Corporate Finance
Study Guide
Important Instruction
This study guide provides you of an overview for each of the topic taught in this unit. These overviews however are not sufficient to learn all the materials in each of the topic. I therefore would suggest you to follow the materials in lecture notes and workshops. It is also essential to read and consult the corresponding text book chapters to develop your concept and knowledge in this unit.
You will also find some references of questions at the end of each topic, they are not workshop questions. These questions are basically to stimulate your learning process and help you think further on each of those topics.
So, this study guide should only be considered as general information on topics, not necessarily a guide for examinable materials in this unit.
Please follow the 4 key sources of materials for this unit:
