Activity and answers included in slide, as well as explanation of how these figures were calculated. Step by step guidance as to what the net present value and time value of money means (we look at why it is better to have £100 now rather than next year) Activities that explain what inflation and interest rates are, and how they affect the value of money (guess the price activity can be done on mini whiteboards or completed as a class) Step by step guide demonstrating how net present value is calculated An explanation of how net present value can be applied to investment decisions An evaluation of the usefulness of net present value, with examples provided.
