Summary and Final Tasks

Summary

Sensitivity analysis is a means of identifying those critical variables that if changed, could considerably impact profitability measures such as rate of return or net present value. Risk analysis identifies the likelihood of project failure and the subsequent cost to the investor.

In this lesson, sensitivity analyses for NPV, ROR, project life, and annual payments are practiced. Expected NPV and ROR are also explained to help analyze the effects of risk and uncertainty on the project economics.
