Now in an Eleventh Canadian Edition, Ross Fundamentals of Corporate Finance continues its tradition of excellence as a market leader. Ross focuses on three powerful ideas which are integrated throughout - emphasis on intuition, unified valuation approach, and managerial emphasis giving students a solid foundation in business and finance.

The Eleventh Edition has been updated to provide current, real world examples, and a wealth of new problem material.

Meeting you and your students where you are.

Using a personalized approach to teaching and learning, Connect is powered by adaptive technologies so your students learn more efficiently, retain more and achieve better outcomes and you can provide the engagement and expertise for more 'aha' moments.

The Eleventh Canadian Edition is current, practical, and builds upon the foundations laid out by this impressive market leader. In addition to retaining the coverage that has characterized Fundamentals of Corporate Finance from the very beginning, the Eleventh Canadian Edition features increased Canadian content on current issues.

With a new Canadian author team, led by J. Ari Pandes and Thomas Holloway, this edition offers an impressive mix of practical and real-world experience. Having an author team that has taught both at the “junior” and “senior” levels in corporate finance courses provides a good balance between application and theory.

Especially notable for this Canadian edition is the Accelerated Investment Incentive that replaces the "half-year rule" in Capital Cost Allowance (CCA). This new policy is reflected in the text, examples, and solutions to end-of-chapter problems.

Integrated Excel® The power of Microsoft Excel® meets the power of Connect in the Integrated Excel® assignments. In this new assignment type, Excel® opens seamlessly inside Connect, with no need for uploading or downloading any additional files or software. Instructors choose their preferred auto-graded solution, with the option for either grading for formula accuracy or for the solution value.

Application-Based Activities Highly interactive and automatically graded application- and analysis-based exercises wherein students immerse themselves in a business environment, analyze the situation, and apply their knowledge of business strategies. Students progress from understanding basic concepts to assessing and solving complex real-world scenarios.

MARKET LEADER. Ross Fundamentals of Corporate Finance continues its tradition of excellence that has earned its status as market leader, offering breadth of coverage and flexibility in organization. Three powerful ideas are integrated throughout – emphasis on intuition, unified valuation approach, and managerial emphasis.

EMPHASIS ON INTUITION. Ross separates and explains the principles at work on an intuitive level before launching into any specifics. The underlying ideas are discussed, first in very general terms and then by way of examples that illustrate in more concrete terms how a financial manager might proceed in a given situation.

UNIFIED VALUATION APPROACH. Net present value (NPV) is treated as the basic concept underlying corporate finance. Every subject covered in Fundamentals of Corporate Finance is firmly rooted in valuation, and care is taken throughout the text to explain how particular decisions have valuation effects.

MANAGERIAL FOCUS. Throughout the text, the role of the financial manager as decision maker is emphasized, and the need for managerial input and judgment is stressed.

WEALTH OF PROBLEM MATERIAL. Ross includes a variety of problem material to support student learning including end-of-chapter Questions and Problems – labelled by topic and separated into 3 learning levels: Basic, Intermediate, and Challenge; Integrative Mini Cases – longer problems that integrate a number of topics within the chapter, and Internet Application Questions – questions that encourage students to explore using the internet.
