Product Description:
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.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Corporate Finance lack luster
This book was last updated in 1988. The material is not current and the examples are not clear. It would help to have the formulas in the back of the book on the questions they have provided answers too.
When buying a book for this price, I would expect a more detail.
Rating:  - Corporate Finance
This is an excellent value for the price that I paid and the quick delivery in which the book was delivered!! This seller was very courteous and responsive to my questions!! A+++ seller for and A+++ product!!
Rating: - UoP Must!
Addendums are an important reference item. The entire text was thought provoking and challenging. I'm glad that I chose to "bite the bullet" and spend the 'extra' money on the text which is not the case with all UoP courses. This time it paid off.
Rating: - Corporate Finance-Stephen A. Ross
Well organized and adequately comprehensive. Could use more material in certain areas, but that's a personal perspective. Overall, good book.
Rating:  - Neutral
Kinda hard to understand and the information provided in the text is not presented very clearly. Maybe it is just me and I did not finish the whole book anyway. I actually haven't read any of it since chapter 2... since now I rely on mostly the professor's notes which I find easier to understand than the textbook.
