About

Financial decision-making in modern business.

FINA 2201 introduced the financial principles used by businesses to evaluate investments, raise capital, manage risk, and maximize firm value.

The course emphasized discounted cash flow valuation, time value of money, financial statement analysis, stock and bond valuation, cost of capital, and capital budgeting. Throughout the semester I developed stronger spreadsheet modeling skills while learning how financial managers evaluate investment opportunities and financing decisions.

Reflection

Building the financial foundation for business analysis.

FINA 2201 strengthened my understanding of how businesses make financial decisions using quantitative analysis. Learning valuation methods, discounted cash flow models, and capital budgeting frameworks gave me practical tools that directly connect finance with data analytics and business strategy.

The course also reinforced spreadsheet modeling, financial reasoning, and investment analysis, skills that complement my studies in business administration and data science while preparing me for future work in corporate finance, consulting, and analytics.
