💹 Financial Impact Summary

Financial Metric	Amount ($CAD)	Calculation Method
Total Training Investment	$0	Direct + Indirect + Opportunity Costs
Annual Benefits (Year 1)	$0	All quantifiable benefits
Net Benefit (Year 1)	$0	Benefits - Investment
5-Year Cumulative Benefits	$0	Discounted at 5% annually
5-Year Net ROI	$0	Total Benefits - Total Investment

📊 ROI Calculation Formulas:

ROI % = (Annual Benefits - Investment) ÷ Investment × 100
Payback Period = Investment ÷ Annual Benefits (in months)
NPV = Σ (Benefits ÷ (1 + discount rate)^year) - Investment
Benefit-Cost Ratio = Total Benefits ÷ Total Costs

📋 ROI Analysis Assumptions

Discount Rate: 5% used for NPV calculations (standard corporate rate)
Benefit Sustainability: 80% of benefits maintained in years 2-5
Refresher Training: 25% of initial cost for annual updates
Inflation: 3% annual increase in wages and costs
Tax Implications: Training costs are tax-deductible business expenses
