Corporate Finance provides coverage in a more concrete and problem-based approach than other books on the market. Robert J. Rhee distinguishes this casebook from other fine books in the field in four ways: This book is interdisciplinary in nature, providing essential coverage of the basic concepts of accounting and finance needed for a business lawyer to understand the economics of the transaction; this book facilitates ease of learning and teaching, avoiding excerpting technically dense academic writings in finance and economics, which can intimidate students and teachers; it provides a basic understanding of financial instruments to prepare students for corporate practice, including many examples of actual financial contract terms and other transactional documents taken from various sources; this book takes a business and transactional perspective, including several case studies, which give students the opportunity to analyze legal problems in the context of business transactions. New to the Second Edition: Updates to the accounting materials in Chapter 1, including a presentation of the financial statements of Google (Alphabet) and Facebook (Meta Platforms). New Delaware appraisal cases that deal with the use of the discounted cash flow method of valuation. Revisions to Chapter 7, Debt Instruments, in light of new cases and materials on indentures and covenants. Additional materials on venture capital investments. Revisions to Chapter 9, Derivatives, to focus on plain vanilla put and call options. A new Chapter 10 (Structured Finance) has been added to discuss structured finance transactions and instruments with a focus on asset securitizations and credit derivatives. Professors and students will benefit from: Clear coverage of accounting, finance, valuation, and transactional economics along with good coverage of the major categories of financial instruments (common stock, preferred stock, debt, convertible securities, and derivatives). By the end of the course, students will have a basic understanding of the business aspects of corporate financing and the legal features of the majority classes of financial instruments used in corporate financing. Materials on accounting, finance, valuation, and transactional economics are presented in a clear, accessible way. Editing and annotation of the case opinions facilitate ease of reading and learning.
