New Features Current, relevant coverage The Seventh Edition has been updated to include discussions of several major events such as the BP oil spill, the European debt crisis, and the ongoing weakness in the economy and financial markets. New: sets of "Quick Questions" Located in key chapters, the authors placed these questions in set-aside boxes within the text. After posing the question, the exercise walks students through the process of finding its solution. The authors designed these questions to parallel the activity in a classroom setting, in which students go through an example to make concepts more concrete. Expanded real-world examples To help students bridge the gap between concept and application, the authors have included more real-life examples throughout the text, including a broader discussion of the role of hedge funds and private equity of major firms, a detailed breakdown of the cash conversion cycle components for several leading companies, and an extensive updating of corporate bond ratings, yields, and dividend payouts for a broad range of companies. More emphasis on and clarity of key topics The authors have clarified their discussion of free cash flow (Chapter 3) and better demonstrated its effects on the value of commons (Chapter 9) and the value of corporate projects (Chapters 11 and 12). They also reorganized some of the spreadsheet examples so that these have a more consistent presentation throughout the text. Updated Excel® models In a continuing effort to help students know and use Excel® to problem-solve, the authors have updated the spreadsheet models that parallel the discussion of each topic and have also incorporated new in-text graphics to quickly show students how many of the problems can be solved using Excel®. New: Web appendices added Two new Web Appendices on "Common Sized Balance Sheets" and "Duration" have been added that are an ideal option for instructors with advanced students.
