Questions and Answers

Sensitivity Analysis is a tool used in financial modeling to analyze how the different values of a set of independent variables affect a specific dependent variable under certain specific conditions. In general, sensitivity analysis is used in a wide range of fields, ranging from biology and geography to economics and engineering. It is especially useful in the study and analysis of a “______ Box Process” where the output is an opaque function of several inputs.

easily

A Financial Sensitivity Analysis, also known as a What-If analysis or a What-If simulation exercise, is most commonly used by financial analysts to predict the outcome of a specific action when performed under certain conditions. Financial Sensitivity Analysis is done within defined boundaries that are determined by the set of independent (input) variables. For example, sensitivity analysis can be ______.
