Corporate Finance On the Go - Audio Study Guide

By: Samuel Davidson, Rebecca Davidson

Narrated by: Brennan Koenigsreuter

Corporate finance is the heartbeat of the business world—the rhythm that drives investment, valuation, and strategic decision-making. But beyond balance sheets and ratios lies a deeper elegance: the harmony of risk and reward, the tempo of markets, the story told in numbers.

Topics Include:

•Time Value of Money (TVM): Understand the mechanics of present and future value, annuities, perpetuities, and compound interest—core tools for any financial decision.

•Capital Budgeting: Learn how firms evaluate investments using Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Payback Period, and Profitability Index (PI).

•Cost of Capital & WACC: Grasp the components and computation of the Weighted Average Cost of Capital, and how it's used in firm valuation and financing decisions.

•Capital Structure Theory: Explore Modigliani & Miller's propositions, trade-off theory, pecking order, and the impacts of leverage on shareholder value.

•Dividend Policy: Analyze dividend irrelevance theory, bird-in-the-hand theory, tax considerations, and how firms choose between payouts and reinvestment.

•Risk & Return: Learn to assess and apply Beta, the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), portfolio diversification, and systematic vs. unsystematic risk.

•Valuation Techniques: Dive deep into Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) modeling, Free Cash Flow to Firm (FCFF), comparables analysis, and more.

•Financial Statement Analysis & Ratios: Break down liquidity, solvency, profitability, and efficiency metrics, and use them to assess the health and direction of a business.

•Corporate Governance & Ethics: Study the agency problem, board structures, stakeholder management, and ethical dilemmas aligned with CFA Institute standards.

•Practice Questions with Detailed Answers: Integrated throughout the chapters, each question challenges you to apply knowledge in a test-ready format and reinforces the material with clear, reasoned explanations.

Well organized study material

I loved the way the topics were arranged in this audio book. Every topic led to the next making study sessions effective.

Everything you need to know in one audiobook

I bought this audiobook after it was recommended to me by a colleague. And I did not need to go and get another resource. Everything that is covered in the exam has been covered in this study guide! It’s a one-stop shop for all corporate finance information.

Easy to Understand

Corporate finance can have some complex concepts but this audiobook manages to explain them in an easy to understand manner.

Straight forward and clear

Many audiobooks are full of fluff but this one goes straight to the point from the first chapter to the practice exam questions posed at the end. I appreciate that so that I don’t have to waste time listening to strategies and formulas for passing exams. Just give me the information I need to study to win.

Excellent Practice Tests!

The practice tests are by topic and are thorough. I used to listen to them on my commute to and from work and they helped me remember the concepts in the chapters. I passed my test thanks to the practice tests in this audiobook.
