    The examiner has shown the workings in a confusing way!

    The sensitivity is the NPV as a % of the PV of the flows that change (i.e. the PV of the sales revenue).

    The sales revenue is $4,200,000 per year for 15 years, starting at time 4.

    So the PV of the revenue = 4,200,000 x 7.191 (the 15 year annuity factor) x 0.731 (the normal 3 year factor because the flows start 3 years late – time 4 instead of time 1).
    This is equal to 22,102,677

    Therefore the sensitivity = 383,000/22,102,677 = 1.7%

    Although the examiners method made sense, I was having such a difficult time with it.

    Yours is much easier and what we are used to, Thanks alot sir!
