What is sensitivity analysis?

• The introduction of alternative assumptions into the basic analysis

and the investigation of associated changes in the model's results is
known as sensitivity analysis.

• sensitivity analysis is a “what-if” technique that examines how a

result will change if the original predicted data are not achieved or if
an underlying assumption changes
• What will happen to operating income if volume declines by 5%?
• What will happen to operating income if variable costs increase by
10% per unit?
• sensitivity analysis broadens management’s perspectives about
possible outcomes
 Four possible variables/factors
• Changes in selling price.
• Changes in variable cost per unit.
• Changes in sales volume.
• Changes in fixed cost.

• Any single factor or combination of two or more factors could be at

work at any time.
• Total 15 combinations can be made from 4 factors. [(n2 -1) here
n=4, so (42-1) =15]
• 15 combination increases.
• 15 combination decreases.
Example
•
selling price/unit Rs 10
variable cost/unit Rs 6
fixed cost Rs 60,000
Volume forecast 20,000 unit

What would possible profit and BEP, if underlying situation arrive?

Situation A- 10% increase in selling price only.

Situation B- 10 % decrease in variable cost only.
Situation C- 10% increase in sales volume only.
Situation D- 50% increase in fixed cost only.
Situation E- 20% increase in VC & 10% decrease sales volume only.
Situation F- 20% increase FC &10% decrease VC only.
