Question 1 c (ii) isn't the sensitivity margin of discount rate = initial investment / annuity? I am confused with the calculation

I have absolutely no idea where you got that idea from! For the interest rate it is the % change in the existing cost of capital to end up with the IRR. The interest rate is 11%, the IRR is 16%. Therefore it can change by 5 percentage points, which is 5/11 = 45% of the interest rate. I do suggest that you watch the free lectures on sensitivity analysis.
