Full teaching script
  1. Today: Investment appraisal. Our goal: Use payback, ARR and NPV.
  2. Take one idea at a time. Pause after each sentence; ask for repetition whenever you need it.
  3. Payback is how long until you get your money back — simple, ignores time value. ARR is average profit over investment. NPV discounts every future cash flow to today's value; a positive NPV means the project beats the discount rate. NPV is the only one that respects the cost of time.
  4. Together: choose one example from the explanation and show how it works. What do you notice?
  5. Your turn: Appraise a £50k machine over five years by all three methods.
  6. Reflect: what made sense, and what would you like explained differently?
