In finance, valuation is the process of determining the present value (PV) of an asset.

Valuations can be done on assets (for example, investments in marketable securities such as stocks, options, business enterprises, or intangible assets such as patents and trademarks) or on liabilities (e.g., bonds issued by a company).

Valuations are needed for many reasons such as investment analysis, capital budgeting, merger and acquisition transactions, financial reporting, taxable events to determine the proper tax liability, and in litigation.

Economics (UK English,; US English) is "a social science concerned chiefly with description and analysis of the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services" according to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary.

The discipline was renamed in the late 19th century primarily due to Alfred Marshall from "political economy" to "economics" as a shorter term for "economic science" at a time when it became more open to rigorous thinking and made increased use of mathematics, which helped support efforts to have it accepted as a science and as a separate discipline outside of political science and other social sciences.

Finance is a field that deals with the study of investments.

It includes the dynamics of assets and liabilities over time under conditions of different degrees of uncertainty and risk.

Finance can also be defined as the science of money management.

Finance aims to price assets based on their risk level and their expected rate of return.

Finance can be broken into three different sub-categories: public finance, corporate finance and personal finance.
