This course is part of the 7th module on finance of the Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration and Management.
This course presents fundamental concepts of Finance, such as the principle of the value of money in time and the concept of interest, fundamental elements for the subsequent valuation of assets and investment analysis by capitalization and discounting of capital. It also analyses one of the main financing/investment operations in the company, such as loans in their different forms.
This subject is fundamental for the rest of the subjects of the Finance Module and in particular Investment Analysis and Portfolio Management (2nd year) and Financial Management (3rd year). It is necessary to be able to develop also all those subjects related to business management and, in particular, to Accounting (Financial and Business Accounting, and Accounting Analysis, etc...) and those related to taxation (Business Taxation). It also provides the necessary knowledge for the subjects of Economics (Microeconomics and Macroeconomics) and Economic Policy (in particular, monetary policy).
The concepts developed in this subject are fundamental to the management and financial management of companies, financial institutions and public entities. Basic concepts are developed to compare the cost of financing of different products as well as the profitability of alternative investment opportunities. An in-depth analysis is made of one of the first business financing operations: loans. On the other hand, the elements that are developed are essential for investment analysis and for the understanding of elementary financial products of both savings and investment.
