Customer Reviews

Outstanding companion to the Corporate Finance textbook
The solution manual contains fully-explained answers to every problem in the "Corporate Finance" textbook. I'm not quite sure how a student could even use the textbook without having the Solutions Manual. In fact, it should be bundled with the textbook.

Make sure editions match up
Amazon has the 8th edition manual paired up with the 7th edition textbook. I had already purchased the text when I realized I was in dire need of the solutions manual and bought the one that supposedly complemented my book. As you can imagine, I was no better off than when I started.

I did find the 7th edition manual at a local bookstore and I compared the two editions. If you're looking for the solutions, the manual serves its purpose. If you're looking to understand the "Why?" or "How?" behind the answer, you'll need to ask your teacher or invest in a tutor instead.

Extremely Helpful
The solutions manual was not a required text for my Corporate Finance class in my MBA program. However, I am very happy that I decided to purchase the manual. It is very helpful and shows you step by step for solving every problem in the book.
