Question 1.1. The basic form of what-if analysis is called scenario analysis, or the determination of what happens to NPV estimates when we ask what-if questions.
  (Points : 2)

       True 
       False 


Question 2.2. Financial break-even is the sales level that results in a zero NPV.
  (Points : 2)

       True 
       False 


Question 3.3. Marginal, or incremental, revenue is defined as the change in revenue that occurs when there is a small change in output.
  (Points : 2)

       True 
       False 


Question 4.4. The “bottom-up” approach to calculating operating cash flow is described by the following formula:  OCF = Sales – Costs – Taxes.
  (Points : 2)

       True 
       False 


Question 5.5. “Simulation analysis” is a combination of scenario and sensitivity analysis.
  (Points : 2)

       True 
       False 


Question 6.6. Marginal, or incremental, cost is defined as the change in costs that occurs when there are large changes in output.
  (Points : 2)

       True 
       False 


Question 7.7. It is important when analyzing an investment opportunity that we consider aftertax cash flows.
  (Points : 2)

       True 
       False 


Question 8.8. The incremental cash flows for project evaluation consist of any and all changes in the firm’s future cash flows that are a direct consequence of taking the project.
  (Points : 2)

       True 
       False 


Question 9.9. A sunk cost is a cost to be incurred in the future.
  (Points : 2)

       True 
       False 


Question 10.10. A negative impact on the cash flows of an existing product from the introduction of a new product is called erosion.  In this case, the cash flows from the new line should be adjusted upward to reflect lost profits on other lines.
  (Points : 2)

       True 
       False 


Question 11.11. In calculating break-even, it makes no difference to distinguish between variable costs and fixed costs.
  (Points : 2)

       True 
       False 


Question 12.12. Pro forma financial statements refer to prior years’ financial statements.
  (Points : 2)

       True 
       False 


Question 13.13. Operating leverage is the degree to which a firm or project relies on variable costs.
  (Points : 2)

       True 
       False 


Question 14.14. Equivalent annual cost (EAC) is the future value of a project’s costs calculated on an annual basis.
  (Points : 2)

       True 
       False 


Question 15.15. The degree of operating leverage (DOL) is the percentage change in operating cash flow relative to the percentage change in quantity sold.

 (Points : 2)

       True 
       False

What happens to NPV estimates when we change the values of one variable at a time?

The correct option is a. Sensitivity analysis is the analysis whereby changes in one variable are done to monitor the changes in the dependent variables. It helps in analyzing the changes or effects in the Net Present Value (NPV) due to changes in one variable at a time.

In which type of analysis is a single variable examined for changes in NPV?

Sensitivity analysis involves assessing the effect of changes in one input variable at a time on NPV. These inputs may include sales, fixed costs, and variable costs which all affect the NPV and IRR of a project.

What is the meaning of sensitivity analysis?

'Sensitivity analysis is the study of how the uncertainty in the output of a model (numerical or otherwise) can be apportioned to different sources of uncertainty in the model input' (Saltelli, 2002).

Which of the following refers to an investigation of what happens to net present value when only one variable is changed?

Apart from scenario analysis, sensitivity analysis would test how NPV changes when one of related variables either increases or decreases.
