Topics covered include opportunity costs, supply and demand, elasticity, market equilibrium, efficiency and equity, the role of the government, consumer choice, externalities, imperfect competition, and monopolies. BUSI 101 (3) Capital Markets and Real Estate This course examines the impact of current monetary and fiscal policies on real estate investment decisions. The overall quality of production and the overall price level are used to monitor developments in the economy as a whole. The monetary system is studied as a crucial element in determining the long-run behaviour of price levels, the inflation rate, and other nominal variables. Monetary and fiscal policy is analyzed through open and closed economies. BUSI 121 (3) Foundations of Real Estate Mathematics This course introduces the techniques of investment and statistical analysis in a real estate context. Topics include: statistical techniques, cash flow analysis, discounting, compounding, and the mathematics of real estate finance and investment analysis. There is also a brief overview of graphing and surveying. BUS 251 (SFU) Financial Accounting: provides an introductory view of financial accounting. The course emphasizes the use of financial accounting information as a decision-making tool; addresses the limitations of accounting information and encourages a critical evaluation of choices made in selecting accounting policies. Throughout the course, students will study the financial reporting of a chosen real company and learn to understand and interpret the information provided. BUS 254 (SFU) Managerial Accounting: This course builds on the fundamental concepts introduced in financial accounting and examines a variety of tools and techniques used by managers to operate their business.

BUSI 300 (3) Urban and Real Estate Economics This course examines urban and real estate economics, illustrating how economic principles affect the demand for real estate, the operation of real estate markets, and the relationship between land use, land value and location. The overall objective of the course is to introduce the most important issues and topics in the study of cities and real estate markets, and to show how microeconomic principles can be used to critically analyze these problems BUSI 330 (3) Foundations of Real Estate Appraisal Introduction to concepts and techniques for appraising the value of real estate. This course begins with an introduction to the appraisal profession in Canada and summarizes the appraisal process. The three classic approaches to value are presented and analyzed as they may be applied to single-family and small, multi-family residential properties.

BUSI 400 (3) Residential Property Analysis This course is designed to give real estate professionals, particularly appraisers, a working knowledge of the physical aspects of residential properties. The course covers how houses are sited, designed, and constructed in Canada, as well as how factors such as design, material selection, and construction type affect their value. Also covered will be the identification and evaluation of problems due to design, construction, or deterioration, their effect on value, and how problems should be reported.
