Plentiful, high quality end of chapter material includes a chapter summary, key terms with page references, Problem Sets (many with CFA designation), S&P Problems, Excel problems- NEW to this edition: with templates available on the OLC and IRCD, Solutions to Concept Check questions, and Internet Activities.

Numerous Excel Applications are included where appropriate. This feature starts with an example presented in the chapter, briefly discusses how a spreadsheet can be valuable for investigating the topic, shows a sample spreadsheet, and then directs students to the Web to work with an interactive version of the spreadsheet. ALL Excel templates have been electronically recreated by Eric Sandburg, of Interactive Learning. The actual spreadsheet for each Excel Application can be obtained on the book's web site at www.mhhe.com/bkm.
Numbered Equations are called out in the text and identified by equation numbers. Separate numbered and titled examples are integrated in the chapters and indicated by a colored sidebar. Using the worked-out solutions to these examples as models, students can learn how to solve specific problems in a step-by-step manner as well as gain insight into general principles by seeing how they are applied to answer questions.
S&P Market Insight Problems are included in end of chapter questions. These problems require the use of the Educational Version of Market Insight, taking advantage of Standard & Poor's powerful and well-known Compustat database. These problems provide instructors with an easy online way to incorporate current, real world data into the classroom. Access to this rich online resource is FREE with every new copy of the text.
Strong usage and inclusion of the Internet. There are two WebMaster boxes in each chapter—one in the body of the text, the other as part of the end of chapter material. These help students practice and understand how to work with investment topics on the web. In addition, web sites related to chapter topics are introduced at the beginning of each chapter to teach students how the chapter material relates to the real world of investments.
