Objective of the Course:
The main purpose of the course is to make the financial statement analysis and based on that compute the present value of future cash flows of the different financial assets like Equities, Preferred, and Bonds. For doing so the forecasting of future cash flows is done and the present value is computed to estimate the valuation of the said asset.
As the objective of the course is to make financial statement analysis, forecasting the future cash flows, and making the valuation of financial assets, it is mandatory for the students to use the software like MS Excel for the financial modeling purpose.
