The use of spreadsheets and computer simulations using programs such as Excel has become pervasive in practice. Although the use of spreadsheets and computer simulation are relevant in the teaching of corporate finance, research on the use of spreadsheets has tended to focus on the teaching of financial accounting and management accounting. Yet, the use of spreadsheets and financial modelling in the teaching of finance has grown due to the perceived educational benefits as well as the demand by business that students should develop skills to enable them to undertake corporate finance applications rather than simply understand corporate finance theory. The introduction of spreadsheet models will enhance the students’ ability to apply corporate finance theory to real world applications. |
