Product Description
Product Description
Corporate Finance, by Ross, Westerfield, and Jaffe emphasizes the modern fundamentals of the theory of finance, while providing contemporary examples to make the theory come to life. The authors aim to present corporate finance as the working of a small number of integrated and powerful intuitions, rather than a collection of unrelated topics. They develop the central concepts of modern finance: arbitrage, net present value, efficient markets, agency theory, options, and the trade-off between risk and return, and use them to explain corporate finance with a balance of theory and application. The well-respected author team is known for their clear, accessible presentation of material that makes this text an excellent teaching tool. The ninth edition has been fully updated to reflect the recent financial crisis and is now accompanied by Connect, an exciting new homework management system.

I'll try to be brief and specific:
1) The book arrived with a delay of 2 weeks. I wrote to Amazon (and Amazon to the bookshop) and in the same day I received a reply telling me that it was normal, that in the lasts days the shipments have a delay for several reasons
2) Book: in very good condition. New but with a little scratch in the back cover, as it was described in Amazon
Conclusion: I'd do it again: cheap and (almost) new. The only cons was the timing.

Good enough
6 May 2009
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I needed this for a corporate finance course at Wayne State. The book seemed decent to me. Easy enough to read for a textbook. Yes, it's dry and not a particularly fun read but what do you expect, it's a finance textbook! I learned some important concepts. The material coupled with the professor's lectures and practice problems seemed adequate to me and I got an A in the course.

you probably don't have an option...

Most likely, if you're looking at this book, it is for a class and it doesn't really matter what anyone other than your prof or division chair thinks. Otherwise, don't get this book. Its approach is completely obtuse and makes most formulas and concepts almost incomprehensible.

For a textbook, it's not bad.
13 Oct 2010
Format:Hardcover
For a textbook, it's not bad. The examples are clear, the chapter progression is logical, and enough of the equations are explained that you don't feel too lost too much of the time. You'd never sit down with this book and a cup of tea on a rainy afternoon, but it gets the job done.
