Description
Book SynopsisOffering exceptional resources for students and instructors, Principles of Finance with Excel, Third Edition, combines classroom-tested pedagogy with the powerful functions of Excel software. Authors Simon Benninga and Tal Mofkadi show students how spreadsheets provide new and deeper insights into financial decision making. The third edition of Principles of Finance with Excel covers the same topics as standard financial textbooks--including portfolios, capital asset pricing models, stock and bond valuation, capital structure and dividend policy, and option pricing. For each topic, the authors provide step-by-step instruction on how to use Excel functions to help with relevant decision-making. A separate section of PFE (Chapters 21-26) reviews all Excel functions used in the book, including graphs, function data tables, dates, Goal Seek, and Solver.

Trade ReviewPrinciples of Finance with Excel is simply the best book available for teaching financial principles using Excel. Its main competitors don't even come close. * Steve Slezak, Cal Poly *
I use Principles of Finance with Excel because I am really convinced that Excel is an extraordinary tool to teach finance. First, it helps painlessly solve problems that involve tedious computations. Second, it forces students to frame a problem in a way that fits with Excel. The major strength of this text is that it allows students to understand finance almost effortlessly. * Fabrice Riva, Université Lille 1, France *
