Book Description
Corporate Finance: Core Principles and Applications, 3rd edition, by Ross, Westerfield, Jaffe and Jordan was written to convey the most important corporate finance concepts and applications at a level that is approachable to the widest possible audience. The concise format, managerial context and design, and student-friendly writing style are key attributes to this text. RWJJ Core Principles strikes a balance by introducing and covering the essentials, while leaving more specialized topics to follow-up courses. This text distills the subject of corporate finance down to its core, while also maintaining a decidedly modern approach. The well-respected author team is known for the clear, accessible presentation of material that makes this text an excellent teaching tool.

The Solutions Manual is a Must Have!, Feb 28 2009
By textbook junkie - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Solutions Manual to accompany Corporate Finance: Core Principles and Applications (Paperback)
I purchased this item a couple weeks into my Finance course, as I was not satisfied by the answers the book Corporate Finance: Core Applications and Principles w/SAndP bind-in card (McGraw-Hill/Irwin Series in Finance, Insurance and Real Estate) had in the back (a very small % to the number of problems, just listing the final answer, and on top of that many answers were wrong). Also, my professor refused to make available the solutions to the problems outside of those assigned, and for the assigned problems we only received those after the homework was due. This manual was a lifesaver, as it provides answers to all of the end of chapter problems. In addition, it provides step by step instructions on how to arrive at the final answer and includes detailed explanations of the more complicated problems. Being that Finance is a discipline that requires doing many problems in order to completely understand the subject matter, this manual helped me do the extra work necessary to obtain an exceptional grade. I would tell anyone who is assigned the Corporate Finance textbook for a class that the Solutions Manual is a Necessity!

I found this resource extremely useful in helping me understand the textbook material in Corporate Finance. I would have been lost without it. The cost is reasonable and the value in return is huge. All of the solutions and explanations to the chapter questions in the book are covered. I agree with the other post, this is "must have" resource.

Inadequate Answers, Oct 21 2010
By J. Gibbons - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Solutions Manual to accompany Corporate Finance: Core Principles and Applications (Paperback)
Many of the answers are "abridged" if an Excel calculation was used. When taking a Finance class with a calculator, the information provided is insufficient when trying to understanding where the numbers are coming from. I somewhat regret the purchase due to the frequent lack of usefulness in the answers. If I am able to figure out how to correctly approach a problem, I am able to at least check my final answer to the answer in the guide.
Listmania!
