Corporate Finance in a Nutshell (3 Revised edition)

This up-to-date and comprehensive title covers the entire field of corporate finance, including the recent changes stemming from the Dodd-Frank Act.

In addition to discussing accounting and valuation concepts, it provides extensive coverage of the legal and financial underpinnings of debt securities, preferred and common stock, and derivative instruments (options, forward contracts, futures contracts and swap contracts).

It also provides sample valuation problems, answers, and explanations.

Written in "plain-English," you will find the work particularly useful, with or without any business background.
