The Basic Theory of Business Investment

This chapter talks about business capital and business decisions, specifically profit-oriented investment. Investment decisions are evaluated on a basic condition, which is whether the investment will raise the value of the firm and thereby the wealth of the shareholders. Professor Sachs mathmatically explains the role of the interest rate and returns in the following year, and goes through the decision-making process that CFOs and CEOs use to analyze an investment.
