The objective of this Study Guide is to provide a student-oriented supplement to Basic Financial management. there are ways in which we have attempted to accomplish that end, these being :

1. A condensation of each chapter in the form of a detailed sentence outline. This overview of the key points of the chapter can serve both as a preview and quick survey of the chapter content and as a review



2. Problems (with detailed solutions) and self-tests which can used to aid in the preparation of outside assignments and in studying for examinations. The problems were keyed to the end-of-chapter problems in the text in order to provide direct and meaningful student aid. Also, both multiple-choice and true-false questions are used to provide a self-test over the descriptive chapter material



3. A tutorial on capital budgeting. The tutorial helps the student work through this important topic on an individual basis at his or her own pace.



4. We provide work-out solutions to selected end-of-chapter problems from Set B in the text. These prolems are indentical to Probelm Set A problems, except the names and numbers have been changed. The list of these problems appears following this preface.



5. In addition to the tables giving compound sum and present value interest factors, we provide tables showing to compute the interest factors using a financial calculator.



These foregoing material provides what we believe is a valuable learning tool for the student of financial management. The response of the students who have used the Study Guide has been most favorable.
