This Third Edition integrates both accounting and finance concepts to deliver a collection of valuation models, as well as challenge readers to determine which models are most
appropriate for specific companies and situations. The authors provide readers with detailed learning outcome statements at the outset, illustrative in-chapter problems with solutions, and
extensive end-of-chapter questions and problems with complete solutions. They cover topics including: how an analyst approaches the equity valuation process; the basic DDM; the derivation of
the required rate of return within the context of Markowitz and Sharpe?s modern portfolio theory; the free cash flow approach; valuation using Graham and Dodd type concepts of earning power and
associated "market multiples?, as well as residual income models.
