In the fourth edition of Introduction to Corporate Finance, authors Laurence Booth and Sean Cleary welcome new author Ian Rakita. The addition of a new author further enhances this already great ground up Canadian text. The fourth edition has been revised to be even more user friendly and engaging. Content has been restructured with additional sub headings in some chapters and the merger of some sections in others—all with the goal of aiding comprehension and retention. The text continues to provide undergraduate students with the most thorough, accessible, accurate, and current coverage of the theory and application of corporate finance within a uniquely Canadian context. This text will provide students with the skills they need to succeed not only in the undergraduate course, but in their future careers.

Aswath Damodaran, distinguished author, Professor of Finance, and David Margolis, Teaching Fellow at the NYU Stern School of Business, has delivered the newest edition of Applied Corporate Finance. This readable text provides the practical advice students and practitioners need rather than a sole concentration on debate theory, assumptions, or models. Like no other text of its kind, Applied Corporate Finance, 4th Edition applies corporate finance to real companies. It now contains six real-world core companies to study and follow. Business decisions are classified for students into three groups: investment, financing, and dividend decisions.

"A Canadian text should reflect Canadian realities, and show how they fit into the bigger picture. The Canadian tax system, for example, differs significantly from that of the United States regarding dividends, capital gains, capital cost allowance, leasing, and foreign subsidiary income and its taxation in the parent company. We use the relevant Canadian tax code to make the examples more realistic to students and to give them exposure to how Canadian taxation works. There are many institutional and market differences between Canada and the United States. We have incorporated information on both countries' institutions and markets and often include comparisons with other countries."--
