ASSURANCE OF LEARNING
Assurance of learning is an important element of many accreditation standards. The third edition of Essentials of
Corporate Finance is designed specifically to support your assurance of learning initiatives.
Each chapter in the book begins with a list of numbered learning objectives that are aligned with the end-of-
chapter problems and exercises. Every testbank question is also linked to one of these objectives, in addition to
level of difficulty, topic area, Graduate Attributes,1 EQUIS and AACSB skill areas.
AACSB STATEMENT
McGraw-Hill Education (Australia) Pty Ltd is a proud corporate member of AACSB International. Understanding
the importance and value of AACSB accreditation, the third edition of Essentials of Corporate Finance has sought
to recognise the curriculum guidelines detailed in the AACSB standards for business accreditation by connecting
selected questions in the testbank to the general knowledge and skill guidelines found in the AACSB standards.
The statements contained in the testbank are provided only as a guide for the users of this text. The AACSB
leaves content coverage and assessment within the purview of individual schools, the mission of the school, and
the faculty. While Essentials of Corporate Finance and the teaching package make no claim of any specific AACSB
qualification or evaluation, we have, within the testbank, labelled selected questions according to six general
knowledge and skills areas.2

Essentials of Corporate Finance, Third Edition 15
PREFACE
INTRODUCTORY FINANCE courses have changed over the years, and the number of prerequisite subjects
has been reduced to the point that a large number of students are studying finance with little or no business background
or knowledge of accounting and/or economics. In addition, many of these students will not undertake any further finance
courses. As a consequence, these courses need a special type of finance text—one that provides students with a broad
coverage of the essential topics in a way that allows for their minimal preparation, while still providing an introduction for
the intended finance majors.
A review of the burgeoning number of finance texts that have been prepared for the Australian and New Zealand
markets confirmed our expectations that a satisfactory text did not exist in the local market to meet the special needs of
these introductory finance courses. However, Ross, Westerfield and Jordan’s Essentials of Corporate Finance, a successful
American textbook which has been developed through eight editions, stood out for this particular segment. A key to its
success is the use of stories based on real-world experiences, rather than a description of the theory, to develop the
important finance concepts. In addition, its chatty writing style is much appreciated by students, particularly those with little
preparation and/or those for whom English is a second language.
However, this textbook did not provide an ideal solution for those teaching or studying an introductory finance
course in Australia and New Zealand. While a large amount of finance theory is generic, the institutional environment and
terminology used across countries is not. The solution was apparent: a local adaptation of the text, while being careful not
to depart from its winning ways.
The fruits of our labour are to be found in this text, which maintains the well-recognised Ross et al. formula, while using
local terminology and explaining everything within an Australian and New Zealand setting. The Ross tradition of using real-
world examples of either Australian or well-recognised international companies has also been incorporated. The subject
of finance is distilled down to its bare ‘essentials’ while retaining a modern approach.
The book is arranged in nine parts to enable a flexible approach to the subject material, allowing subject coordinators
to decide the particular sequence. Each chapter begins with an overview of the chapter’s content and concludes with
material that is an extension of the earlier material. In the event of insufficient time, the latter may be omitted without
affecting a basic coverage of the essential material. At the end of each chapter is a large selection of practical and theoretical
problems of varying degrees of difficulty for students to solve. In addition, each major section concludes with a mini-case
that introduces a practical application of the material covered.
Perhaps the most challenging aspect of writing this adaptation has been the incorporation of the Australian and the
New Zealand imputation tax system. As the theoretical development of finance has largely been undertaken within the
framework of a classical tax system, we chose to commence our discussion within this environment and then extend the
discussion to incorporate an imputation tax system. Our approach to imputation has been to treat it at a basic level and
not overly complicate the issue for students.
We feel that we have successfully achieved our goal of producing a text that conveys the most important concepts
and principles of finance at a level that is approachable for the widest possible audience in a package that realistically can
be covered in a single term.

We have given your Preservative some very severe tests, and have
found it to work splendidly.
N. A. & S. H. BURPEE.
W. McKEAN.
We would more particularly urge upon your attention the care that
should be taken in keeping this Manual of Instruction from the
observation of any person other than yourself, for reasons which we
trust will appear plain to you; that, as it contains all of the practical
knowledge of the present day on the subject of Embalming, so
plainly demonstrated in the Manual as to be easily acquired by any
person who might have the opportunity of studying the book;
therefore it is clearly in your interest to keep it in such a safe place
that no one but yourself can have access to it, otherwise it might be
the very means of educating and qualifying some person who might
sooner or later come into competition with you, to the great injury of
your business.
We endeavor to protect our customers by refusing to fill all orders
for the Preservative from any persons who are not regularly engaged
in the Undertaking business, and we would not furnish the Manual
to any other than our customers under any circumstances. See card
pasted on inside of the front cover.
TO OUR CUSTOMERS.
Respectfully yours,
