    COURSE
    OBJECTIVE: Contribute to the Haworth College of Business objective of delivering the
    best business program in Michigan and the surrounding states by:
    1. presenting students with an overview of the main facets and tools of
    business finance:
    2. developing an understanding of how the financial theory concepts
    and techniques are applied to business decisions; and,
    3. instilling the reality that a full understanding of business finance is
    essential to survival in the business world.
    4. reinforcing professional life skills.

    Upon successful completion of the course, students will:


    1. be able to apply financial theory to practical short-term and long-term
    problems in corporate finance;
    2. be able to understand how finance fits into the overall business
    decision-making process;
    3. be cognizant of the thinking process necessary to evaluate, analyze,
    and comprehend financial issues;
    4. have developed a working knowledge of the tools, techniques, and
    theories of financial management; and,
    5. have developed a familiarity with the basic technology prevalent in
    the field of finance.

    ATTENDANCE: On-time attendance is required. Students missing class will forfeit any quiz
    or participation points.

    THE STUDENT ASSUMES SOLE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY


    MISSED LECTURE NOTES, ASSIGNMENTS, OR
    ANNOUNCEMENTS.

    HOMEWORK: Homework will be assigned at the end of each class period. In order to be
    graded, homework must be handed-in at the beginning of the class period. I
    strongly recommend that students make copies of their homework
    submissions to use during class discussion. Your homework may be
    submitted by another student in your section; please indicate on the top of
    the page the student submitting your work.

    READING ASSIGNMENTS:
    All reading assignments should be completed prior to the first class period
    in the week. (Except Week 1)
    BUSINESS FINANCE 320

    COMPUTER SPREADSHEET
    ASSIGNMENTS: There will be two major computer spreadsheet assignments:
    1) A simple loan amortization spreadsheet as part of Chapter 6 homework;
    and,
    2) A cash flow/net present value spreadsheet with Chapter 11
    homework.
    In addition, there may be homework problems which will require EXCEL
    worksheet solutions.

    These assignments will use the EXCEL skills students you learned in
    MATH 216. If you are not familiar or comfortable with the basics of
    typing, adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing using a package such
    as EXCEL or LOTUS 1-2-3, the computer lab has a self-paced Microsoft
    OFFICE tutorial that teaches the necessary EXCEL skills. You must use
    EXCEL on WINDOWS 95 or 97 software. Files must be EXCEL 97 or
    EXCEL 2000 compatible.

    PROFESSIONAL LIFE SKILLS:


    A professional business atmosphere is to be maintained in the classroom
    setting. As an analogy to your future professional career, assume you are
    attending a seminar paid by your firm. The instructor will evaluate each
    participant and provide feedback (your grade) to your supervision. As a
    result, mutual respect among participants and common courtesy is expected.
    Behaviors such as side conversations, leaving class without prior
    notification, loud snoring, or any other type of distracting behavior are to be
    avoided. If a pattern of unprofessional behavior or attitude is
    demonstrated, a student’s grade may be reduced one full letter grade.

    EXAM POLICY: All students are expected to take the quizzes and exams on the scheduled
    dates and times. I will retain all exams.

    Appendix D of your text, or a similar handout, will be distributed with each


    exam (except the information on certain key ratios – Current Ratio, Quick
    Ratio, Inventory Turnover, Days Sales Outstanding, and Return on Common
    Equity). You will need only your calculator and pencil to complete exams.
    All regular exams will be multiple choice and computer graded unless you
    are notified otherwise in class.

    GRADES: Homework and class participation/attendance 15%


    Quizzes (Unannounced) 20%
    Exam 1 20%
    Exam 2 20%
    Final Exam (Comprehensive) 25%

    Please note grade adjustment listed under Professional Life Skills

    SCALE: The scale shown above will be applied to the student’s weighted average test
    score. If the cumulative average score falls below 72%, the scores will be
    adjusted so that the average cumulative score is in the C range.

    INCOMPLETE POLICY:
    Please review the Incomplete Policy shown on page 28 of the 2001-2003
    Undergraduate Student Catalog.

    ACADEMIC HONESTY:
    One of the key purposes of the Hayworth College of Business undergraduate
    program is to prepare students to participate ethically and responsibly in the
    world of commerce. A pattern of legal and ethical lapses including Enron,
    Arthur Anderson, WorldCom, and even the sainted Martha Stewart suggest
    that legal standards, let alone ethics, have not been sufficiently emphasized
    in the preparation of individuals for business careers. I want to be clear that
    ANY breach of the Academic Honesty Policy (shown on pages 268-270 of
    the 2001-2003 Undergraduate Student Catalog) will not be tolerated.
    Hopefully aggressive enforcement of academic honesty policies will
    establish patterns of student behavior that will carry-over into professional
    roles following graduation.
