Corporate Finance, by Ross, Westerfield, and
Jaffe is a popular textbook that 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.
