Get ready for your 2025 final exam in ADM 3350 - Corporate Finance at the University of Ottawa with the most comprehensive exam guide designed for this course. The guide includes exam-style questions and advice on common examination pitfalls. You will gain a clear picture of how the final exam will be assessed and structured, as well as the likely style and range of questions you could see on the real exam. The purpose of this guide is to provide a logical structure for the topics covered in the course, emphasize and explain the important concepts and methods in each topic, and offer initial examples to which the concepts and methods are applied.

This intermediate corporate finance course, ADM 3350, is designed to build on the fundamentals of financial management introduced in ADM 2350, advancing students’ knowledge of critical financial decision-making in a complex business environment. The course covers essential topics including capital structure, dividend policy, mergers and acquisitions, lease financing, and the use of derivatives like options, forwards, and futures. Students will explore theories and practical approaches to optimize capital structure, including the impact of leverage, taxes, and bankruptcy costs on firm value. Additionally, the course delves into dividend policy and its effects on stock price and shareholder value, offering alternative payout methods to traditional cash dividends. Mergers and acquisitions are studied both as a strategy for growth and in terms of valuation techniques, while lease financing is examined for its effects on financial statements and cash flows.

Through these topics, the course equips students with tools to analyze and make informed financial decisions. Emphasis is placed on real-world applications, such as evaluating the optimal mix of debt and equity, understanding the financial implications of dividend policies, and analyzing the costs and benefits of mergers and acquisitions. Students will also learn how to use financial instruments like options, forwards, and futures within corporate finance to hedge risks or enhance firm value. With a strong focus on empirical issues and valuation methods, ADM 3350 aims to prepare students for effective financial management in evolving corporate settings. Prerequisite: ADM 2350.
