Many students contact me after graduation and tell me how their ability to use Excel in financial modeling has opened doors to many interesting career opportunities.However, it is not simply the ability to use Excel that has opened these doors. The key is that Principles of Finance with Excel promotes a sound understanding of the principles of value creation and of financial decision making under uncertainty, which allows individuals to make immediatecontributions to their firms."--Glen A. Larsen Jr., Finance Department, Indiana University, "In Principles of Finance with Excel, Professor Benninga skillfully interweaves financial theory with applications to real-world data. Basic financial concepts are presented with unusual clarity in an intuitive manner. This book offers a nice blend of concepts and Excel applications and iseasy to follow. Readers will find the exercises in the book fun and interesting, as many of my students and I have."--Youngsoo Kim, University of Regina, Canada, "I am a Finance Division Manager at Allstate and use Excel quite a bit. It has been my experience in hiring over the past five or so years that most students today coming out of school lack skills and knowledge of Excel. Most of what I learned while in graduate school was related to thefinancial (i.e., banking) industry. Very little related to anything outside of that, nor were there any real life exercises in many of the books that I had. I liked your book because it showed how to use many of the features of Excel." --Charlyn Foust, Allstate, "Microsoft Excel continues to be an absolutely critical piece of the tools and language of applied personal and corporate finance at all levels. Bankers, CFOs, investors, accountants, lawyers, entrepreneurs, and even proactive consumers need to be adept at using this platform. Principles ofFinance with Excel fills a gaping hole in the market by applying an effective teaching methodology to financial applications of Excel in a self-contained text."--Alex Gould, Department of Economics, Stanford University, "I am a Finance Division Manager at Allstate and use Excel quite a bit.It has been my experience in hiring over the past five or so years that moststudents today coming out of school lack skills and knowledge of Excel.

I can't find a book with the applications you've included in here and I think it's great. I have an honors degree in Economics from University of Western Ontario and sat the CFA level one exam this year. Both bodies of studies are great but I believe wherethey lack is in the application dept. The majority of the content that I've looked at so far from your book was covered in level one CFA but the texts never explained applications with Excel which is a huge downfall. I believe your book compliments and fits perfectly into what I've learned intheory." --Rob Lee, Trader, "You have done an excellent job.

SynopsisPrinciples of Finance with Excel is the first textbook that comprehensively integrates Excel into the teaching and practice of finance. This book provides exceptional resources to the instructor and student, combining classroom-tested pedagogy with the full potential of Excel's powerful functions. In today's business world, computation is done almost wholly in Excel. Excel's ability to combine graphics with computation and perform complex sensitivity analysis with ease provides potent insights into financial problems. Despite this, most finance texts rely heavily on hand-held calculators and ignore Excel. As a result, many students find that after they enter the professional environment, they have to relearn both finance and Excel. Principles of Finance with Excel is ideal for undergraduate courses in introductory finance or as a reference for finance professionals. A Free In-Text CD for students contains electronic versions of all spreadsheets in the book. A Companion Website -- http: //www.oup.com/us/benninga -- contains lecture notes, PowerPoint Slides, and a Test Bank for instructors., Principles of Finance with Excel is the first textbook that comprehensively integrates Excel into the teaching and practice of finance.
