Video Production Brief
This lesson is scripted for a rendered Remotion cut. The page below shows the voiceover and animation beats that should drive production.
Lesson Script
0:00-0:15
Hook
Visual
Open on the common miss pattern, then isolate the decision the candidate must make under time pressure.
Voiceover
If using accounting income instead of cash flow, this topic starts to feel bigger than it is. We are going to make the decision visible.
0:15-0:40
Visual Model
Visual
Project cash-flow branches discount into present-value blocks, then route to accept/reject decisions.
Voiceover
First, build the picture. The goal is to see the moving parts before trying to memorize the rule.
0:40-1:05
High-Yield Pass
Visual
Highlight the two highest-payoff ideas and remove the details that do not change the answer.
Voiceover
NPV measures value added in currency units Then IRR can mislead with nonconventional or mutually exclusive projects
1:05-1:30
Trap Lab
Visual
Show two tempting answer paths, cross out the flawed one, and leave the reliable rule path on screen.
Voiceover
The tempting wrong answer usually comes from including sunk costs. We will name that trap before solving.
1:30-1:55
Repair Drill
Visual
End with one short drill prompt, a pause, and a clean reveal of the answer logic.
Voiceover
Your repair rep after this lesson is simple: identify relevant vs irrelevant cash flows in five project prompts.
Lesson Objective
Give students a project-decision map for corporate finance questions.
Visual Teaching Plan
Project cash-flow branches discount into present-value blocks, then route to accept/reject decisions.
High-Yield Map
- NPV measures value added in currency units.
- IRR can mislead with nonconventional or mutually exclusive projects.
- Relevant cash flows are incremental after-tax cash flows.
Common Traps
- Using accounting income instead of cash flow.
- Including sunk costs.
- Choosing IRR when NPV gives the correct ranking.
Repair Drills
- Identify relevant vs irrelevant cash flows in five project prompts.
- Compare NPV and IRR decisions for two projects.
