All these decisions are made in the environment of asymmetric information which gives rise to conflicts of interest and agency costs. Students will be able to identify such circumstances. Moreover, the students will acquire knowledge of the functioning of the money and capital markets which permit financial decision makers to adjust risk and return of their portfolios.<\/p>\n
