When thinking about risk and return and how the two interact with each other. NPV (net present value) by itself simply focuses on return and a lot of organisations make the mistake of simply using return as a basis on which to make their decisions. If you ask any investor how they make their decisions, they will tell you that risk is just as important to consider alongside return. And therefore we need to balance risk and return in making investment decisions and this is where sensitivity analysis assists with those decisions.
The aim of this module is to give you:
- an awareness of why it is important to consider risk in the investment appraisal process
- the module will also so show you show how we perform sensitivity analysis on NPV calculations.
Please note before purchasing this module it is assumed that you understand how to perform NPV calculations. If you do not have this knowledge then we would highly recommend you view the module investment appraisal basics.
