Difference between Sensitivity analysis and Scenario analysis?

Answer 1

Scenario Analysis: What happens to the NPV unde different cash flow scenarios? this analysis has: 3 dimensions to measure 1. Best case: High revenues, low cost 2. Worst case: low revenues, high cost 3. Base case: calculation with the given data Measure of the range of possible outcomes Best and Worts are not necessarily probable, but they can still be possible Sensitivity Analysis: What happnes to NPV when we vary one variable at a time? This is a subset of scenario analysis where we are looking at the effect of speciic variables on NPV The greater the volatility on NPV in relation to a specific variable, the larger the forecasting risk associated with that variable, and the more attention we want to pay to its estimation i.e. number of scenario analysis done, let's say 1,000 of different NPV, and the empirical distribution made us better off. Because we have observe the how volatile is the NPV.
