●The Valuation Principle is presented as the foundation of all financial decision-making. The central idea is that a firm should take projects or make investments on the firm’s value by comparing the costs and benefits in equivalent terms.

●Guided Problem Solutions are examples that accompany every important concept using a consistent problem solving methodology that breaks the solution process into three steps: Plan, Execute, and Evaluate.

●Personal Finance GPS examples showcase the use of financial analysis in everyday life by setting problems in scenarios such as purchasing a new house or car, and saving for retirement.

●Common Mistake boxes alert students to frequently made mistakes stemming from misunderstanding core concepts and calculations—in the classroom and in the field.
