    A project requires an investment of $25,000 and is expected to generate a cash inflow of $8,000 a year for 5 years (with the first receipt in one years time).

    The cost of capital is 10%.

    What is the sensitivity to change of the cash inflow each year?

    First you need to calculate the PV of the inflows.
    This is 8,000 x annuity factor for 5 years at 10%, which is $30328.

    The NPV is the PV of the inflows minus the initial cost of 25,000, so $5328.

    The sensitivity is the NPV divided by the PV of the inflows, expressed as a %.
    So the sensitivity is 5328/30328 = 17.58%

    If the logic is not clear, then you should watch the free lecture on sensitivity calculations.

    (Since you are not charged for anything on this website, it would be a bit nicer if you could say ‘please’ rather than ‘explanation in detail required’ !!!!!)
