When you assign the lowest anticipated sales price and the highest anticipated costs to a project

When you assign the lowest anticipated sales price and the highest anticipated costs to a project, you are analyzing the project under the condition known as: 
 
A. 
best case sensitivity analysis.

B. 
worst case sensitivity analysis.

C. 
best case scenario analysis.

D. 
worst case scenario analysis.

E. 
base case scenario analysis.
Refer to section 11.2

24.
Which one of the following statements concerning scenario analysis is correct? 
 
A. 
The pessimistic case scenario determines the maximum loss, in current dollars, that a firm could possibly incur from a given project.

B. 
Scenario analysis defines the entire range of results that could be realized from a proposed investment project.

C. 
Scenario analysis determines which variable has the greatest impact on a project's final outcome.

D. 
Scenario analysis helps managers analyze various outcomes that are possible given reasonable ranges for each of the assumptions.

E. 
Management is guaranteed a positive outcome for a project when the worst case scenario produces a positive NPV.
Refer to section 11.2

25.
Sensitivity analysis determines the: 
 
A. 
range of possible outcomes given that most variables are reliable only within a stated range.

B. 
degree to which the net present value reacts to changes in a single variable.

C. 
net present value range that can be realized from a proposed project.

D. 
degree to which a project relies on its fixed costs.

E. 
ideal ratio of variable costs to fixed costs for profit maximization.
Refer to section 11.2


26.
Assume you graph a project's net present value given various sales quantities. Which one of the following is correct regarding the resulting function? 
 
A. 
The steepness of the function relates to the project's degree of operating leverage.

B. 
The steeper the function, the less sensitive the project is to changes in the sales quantity.

C. 
The resulting function will be a hyperbole.

D. 
The resulting function will include only positive values.

E. 
The slope of the function measures the sensitivity of the net present value to a change in sales quantity.
Refer to section 11.2
