Sensitivity Analysis Measures a Project's Stand-Alone Risk by Showing How

question 37

True/False

Sensitivity analysis measures a project's stand-alone risk by showing how much the project's NPV (or IRR) is affected by a small change in one of the input variables, say sales.Other things held constant, with the size of the independent variable graphed on the horizontal axis and the NPV on the vertical axis, the steeper the graph of the relationship line, the more risky the project, other things held constant.

Definitions:

Mantle Plume

A rising column of hot, solid mantle material that originates from deep within the Earth, potentially causing volcanic activity when it reaches the surface.

Less Dense

This term refers to a material that has a lower density, meaning fewer mass units per volume, making it more buoyant or likely to float in a denser substance.

Mostly Molten

Refers to the state of material that is primarily in a liquid form due to high temperatures, often relating to the Earth's mantle.

Decompression Melting

The process by which melting occurs in the mantle due to a decrease in pressure as hot mantle rocks rise closer to the Earth's surface.
