Sensitivity analysis:
A) provides the tradeoff between fixed and variable costs.
B) provides an estimate of the most profitable situation that is reasonably expected.
C) can be conducted on any input value used in the computation of a project’s NPV.
D) cannot evaluate a change in NPV related to a project’s initial investment.
E) should never be conducted if the base-case scenario results in a negative NPV.
The correct answer is option c i.e. Sensitivity analysis can be conducted on any input value used in the computation of a project’s NPV.
Feel free to ask in case of any query relating to this question

4. Sensitivity and scenario analysis Different techniques for analyzing project risk require different input variables and assumptions. Suppose you are using the scenario analysis technique to evaluate project risk. You would change in the model to evaluate the effect of the input factors on the expected value. Tanya is a risk analyst. She is conducting a sensitivity analysis to evaluate the riskiness of a new project that her company is considering investing in. Her risk analysis report includes the sensitivity...
