Finance

Finance is the field that manages the study and system of investments, money, assets, and liabilities. It involves the processes of acquiring funds, managing financial resources, and making investment decisions. Finance encompasses various activities, including budgeting, lending, investing, and risk management. It is divided into three main categories: personal finance, which deals with individual budgeting and financial planning; corporate finance, focused on the financial activities of businesses, including capital structure and investment opportunities; and public finance, which pertains to government revenue and expenditure decisions. The primary goal of finance is to maximize the value of assets and ensure efficient resource allocation.
