The section also covers the funding life cycle of a company, from initial public offerings to seasoned equity offerings, and the strategic decisions involved in each phase.

Optimizing Capital Structure

The core of corporate finance lies in optimizing the firm’s capital structure to balance risk and return effectively. This part of the course focuses on understanding and minimizing the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC), a key element in corporate financial management.
