Several types of analyses are available for evaluating a project's risk. In the following table, correctly identify the analysis being described. Scenario Analysis Sensitivity Analysis Simulation Analysis Measures the change in NPV that occurs when only one variable is changed Examines the effect of simultaneous changes in multiple drivers of a project's NPV 0 Uses computers to consider a large number of possibilities for a project O O Consider the following case: Coppinger Corp. is considering the use of a computer to assign probability distributions to the input variables used in the analysis. The computer would then randomly select input variables from their distributions and calculate NPVs based on those selections. What kind of analysis is this? O Sensitivity analysis O Scenario analysis O Simulation analysis Suppose Coppinger Corp. is evaluating new capital budgeting project and conducting some basic risk analysis. First, it calculates the project's NPV at various levels for the project's key input variables. Coppinger next calculates the project's NPV at various prices per unit, plots the results on the accompanying graph, and then repeats this process separately for variable cost per unit and required return. This process is a Simulation analysis whose results are shown on the graph.

O Price per unit O Required return O Variable cost per unit At the current input-value estimates, does this project have a positive or negative NPV? O Positive NPV O Negative NPV Decision trees are a visual representation of the sequential choices that financial decision makers face when making capital budgeting and investment decisions. True or False: Typically the beginning of the project is riskier than later stages. True or False
