Founder & Head of School, Afterkelas
Afterkelas tutors Corporate Finance online for university students in finance, accounting, business and economics programmes. Tutors run live classes, 1-to-1 or in small groups, on valuation, capital budgeting and the cost of capital, following the student's own course.
What a first Corporate Finance course covers
The core topics of a first university course in corporate finance. Each university sets its own order and depth, so the tutor works from your course outline.
Core topics
12 topics- The goal of the firm and agency problems
- Financial statements and cash flow
- Time value of money
- Bond valuation
- Share valuation
- NPV, IRR and other investment rules
- Capital budgeting cash flows
- Risk, return and the CAPM
- Cost of capital and WACC
- Capital structure
- Dividend policy
- Working capital management
Is it worth more than it costs?
Corporate Finance asks one question in many forms: is this worth more than it costs? The answer comes from discounting future cash flows at a rate that reflects their risk. The course builds the time value of money first, applies it to bonds, shares and projects, and then asks where the discount rate comes from: the cost of capital and the mix of debt and equity behind it.
Where marks are lost
Students lose marks by discounting accounting profit instead of cash flow, mixing nominal and real rates, or ranking projects by payback when the question asks for NPV. Tutors drill timelines: every problem starts with the cash flows laid out year by year, as in the worked problem below.
Working from your course outline
Each university sets its own order and depth, and some courses add Malaysian context such as Bursa-listed companies or the interest rates Bank Negara Malaysia publishes. The tutor starts from your course outline and past papers; assessed work is your own.
A question, worked through
A capital budgeting problem. The project pays back within three years, yet the NPV says no.
Question
A project costs RM100,000 today and returns RM40,000 at the end of each of the next three years. The required return is 10% a year. Calculate the NPV and decide whether to accept the project.
- The three equal inflows form an annuity: PV = 40,000 × [1 − (1.10)⁻³] ÷ 0.10.
- (1.10)⁻³ = 0.75131, so the annuity factor is (1 − 0.75131) ÷ 0.10 = 2.4869.
- PV of the inflows = 40,000 × 2.4869 = RM99,474.
- NPV = 99,474 − 100,000 = −RM526. It is negative, so reject the project at a 10% required return, even though it pays back within three years.
Answer NPV = −RM526, so the project should be rejected.
Frequently asked questions
Is Corporate Finance mostly calculation?
A large part is, but exams also ask for interpretation: what an NPV means, why the WACC is the right rate, what a capital structure choice trades off. Tutors practise both together.
Can I use a financial calculator or Excel?
Your course decides. The tutor teaches the formulas behind the functions, so you can work either way and check one against the other.
When should Corporate Finance tuition start?
Early in the semester, while the time value of money is taught, since every later topic depends on discounting.
How much does Corporate Finance tuition cost?
The fee depends on the format (1-to-1 or a small group), how many classes a week and the tutor, so there is no single figure. Send an academic advisor the university, the course code and the course outline on WhatsApp, and you will get the current packages and a quote, usually within one working day.
