Offering exceptional resources for students and instructors, Principles of Finance with Excel combines classroom-tested pedagogy with the powerful functions of Excel software.

Authors Simon Benninga and Tal Mofkadi show students how spreadsheets provide new and deeper insights into financial decision making.It covers the same topics as standard financial textbooks-including portfolios, capital asset pricing models, stock and bond valuation, capital structure and dividend policy, and option pricing.

For each topic, the authors provide step-by-step instruction on how to use Excel functions to help with relevant decision-making. A separate section of PFE (Chapters 21-26) reviews all Excel functions used in the book, including graphs, function data tables, dates, Goal Seek, and Solver.
