The Finance elective should be practiced as decision support. A strong answer usually depends on the business objective, available cash flows, risk, assumptions, constraints, and whether the recommendation is defensible.
| Weak area | Better drill type |
|---|---|
| Valuation misses | Questions that ask which cash flow, discount rate, or assumption drives the conclusion. |
| Financing misses | Scenarios comparing debt, equity, covenants, liquidity, and control trade-offs. |
| Capital budgeting misses | NPV, payback, sensitivity, and risk prompts tied to a specific recommendation. |
| Recommendation misses | Cases where the best answer explains uncertainty instead of treating one calculation as final. |
