About this Unit
This unit examines the valuation of assets, firms and securities. The focus is on the attempt by active investors to identify mispriced securities by projecting the future cash flows of a firm based on pro forma financial statements, translating those projections to values and dividing the firm value among the different security holders of the firm. Students develop their understanding of accounting, finance and economic concepts in this applied unit by building models of a firm and conducting analyses of the equity valuation.
