This chapter deepens students’ understanding of financial analysis and strategic financial decisions. Students explore advanced financial statements, ratio analysis, and investment appraisal techniques such as NPV, ARR, and IRR. These tools help evaluate business performance and long-term investment feasibility.
Students also examine capital structure, working capital management, and financial risk. They analyze how businesses balance profitability, liquidity, and solvency while making financing decisions. This equips them to assess real-world financial challenges such as interest rate changes, credit risks, and cash flow issues.
Finally, students explore the strategic importance of financial planning, forecasting, and corporate financial objectives. They evaluate how financial decisions integrate with marketing, operations, and HR strategies to achieve business growth. This comprehensive understanding prepares them for university-level business studies and professional courses.
