This course is intended to provide the student with an introduction to the basic concepts and practices of financial planning and analysis.

Topics covered include financial statement analysis, financial and operating leverage, profit planning, time value of money, risk-return-valuation concepts, cost of capital, and capital budgeting concepts and techniques. Prerequisites: MT 209 and MT 210
