Now conduct a sensitivity analysis to determine the sensitivity of NPV to changes in the sales price, variable costs per unit, and number of units sold. Set these variables' values at 1 0 % and 2 0 % above and below their base - case values. Include a graph in your analysis. For example, the base case 1 st Year Unit Sales in Cell B 1 0 0 should be the number 1 , 0 0 0 and NOT have the formula = D 3 1 in 1 0 % Excel will calculate the wrong answer.

# Full Solution: Sensitivity & Scenario Analysis in Excel (with Screenshots) Below is a step-by-step guide for your questions **b, c, d, and e** using the screenshots you provided. **All screenshots are from your Excel file.** --- ## **b. Sensitivity Analysis** ### **Step-by-Step:1. **Identify base values:** - **Unit Sales:** 1,000 - **Sales Price:** $24.00 - **Variable Cost:** $18.00 2. **Set up deviations:** Use -20%, -10%, %, 10%, 20% for each variable (one at a time). 3. **Calculate NPV for each case:** In your Excel, you should **manually enter** the changed value for each deviation, recalculate NPV, and record the results. #### **Your Excel Screenshot Example** - The bottom left of your second screenshot shows tables for each variable and corresponding NPV. - The chart labeled **Sensitivity Analysis** (center of the screenshot) plots NPV vs. % deviation for each variable. **Interpreting the Graph:** - The steeper the line, the more sensitive NPV is to that variable. - From your screenshot, it looks like **Unit Sales** and **Sales Price** have a bigger impact on NPV than Variable Cost (based on the graph's slope). #### **Sample Table Structure:** | % Deviation | Sales Price NPV | Variable Cost NPV | Unit Sales NPV | |-------------|-----------------|-------------------|----------------| | -20% | (value) | (value) | (value) | | -10% | (value) | (value) | (value) | | % (Base) | (value) | (value) | (value) | | +10% | (value) | (value) | (value) | | +20% | (value) | (value) | (value) | #### **Excel Screenshot Reference** ![Sensitivity Analysis Table and Graph](attachment from your second screenshot, center) --- ## **c. Scenario Analysis** ### **Step-by-Step:** 1. **Define Scenarios:** - **Best Case:** +20% for each variable (Unit Sales = 1,200, Sales Price = $28.80, Variable Cost = $14.40) - **Base Case:** Original values. - **Worst Case:** -20% for each variable (Unit Sales = 800, Sales Price = $19.20, Variable Cost = $21.60) 2. **Assign Probabilities:** - Best Case: 25% - Base Case: 50% - Worst Case: 25% 3. **Calculate NPV for Each Scenario:** - From your Scenario Summary screenshot: - Best Case NPV: **$31,421** - Base Case NPV: **$3,820** - Worst Case NPV: **–$15,518** 4. **Calculate Expected NPV:** \[ \text{Expected NPV} = (.25 \times 31,421) + (.5 \times 3,820) + (.25 \times -15,518) = \$5,885.25 \] 5. **Calculate Standard Deviation & Coefficient of Variation:** - Use the probabilities and NPV values to calculate the variance, then take the square root for standard deviation. - CV = Std Dev / Expected NPV #### **Excel Screenshot Reference** ![Scenario Summary Table](attachment from your third screenshot) --- ## **d. Risk-Adjusted NPV, IRR, and CV** - **CV range for average-risk project:** .8 to 1.2 - **WACC:** - Low risk: 8% - Average risk: 10% - High risk: 13% ### **Instructions:** - If your project's **CV** is within the average range, use the average-risk WACC. - If **higher**, use the high-risk WACC (13%). - If **lower**, use the low-risk WACC (8%). **Calculate NPV, IRR, and Payback at these WACCs** using your model (change the WACC in your NPV calculation). #### **Excel Screenshot Reference** See bottom right of your second screenshot for WACC fields. --- ## **e. Recommendation** Based on: - **Expected NPV** (>), - **CV** (compare to standard range), - **Risk-adjusted NPV and IRR**, **If Expected NPV is positive and IRR exceeds WACC,** recommend accepting the project. --- ## **Example Excel Screenshot References** ### **Sensitivity Analysis Table & Chart** ![Sensitivity Analysis](attachment from your 2nd screenshot, center) ### **Scenario Summary Table** ![Scenario Summary](attachment from your 3rd screenshot) --- ## **Summary Table (Values from Screenshots)** | Scenario | Probability | Unit Sales | Sales Price | Variable Cost | NPV | |-------------|-------------|------------|-------------|--------------|---------| | Best Case | .25 | 1,200 | $28.80 | $14.40 | $31,421 | | Base Case | .50 | 1,000 | $24.00 | $18.00 | $3,820 | | Worst Case | .25 | 800 | $19.20 | $21.60 | –$15,518| --- ## **How to Do This in Excel** 1. **For Sensitivity Analysis:** - Change the relevant input, recalculate NPV, record result. - Use a line graph to plot results. 2. **For Scenario Analysis:** - Use **Data > What-If Analysis > Scenario Manager**. - Create three scenarios (Base, Best, Worst), set the inputs, and record NPVs. - Use probabilities to calculate Expected NPV, Std Dev, and CV. --- ## **If You Need to Recreate the Chart** - Select your sensitivity table. - Go to **Insert > Chart > Line**. - Label axes: - X-axis: "Percentage Deviation from Base" - Y-axis: "NPV ($)" --- **If you need a new Excel file or template, let me know!** If you want me to walk through the calculations (e.g., how to calculate Std Dev and CV), just ask. --- ## **Let me know if you need the actual Excel file or formulas!**
