Scenario analysis: It
is also known as “what if” analysis. It helps to take decision of uncertain
future. It is complex then sensitivity analysis. It shows that how NPV varies if
more than one variable are changed simultaneously.
Example: A
company manufactures a product C whose sales price is Rs.70 per unit and the
cost of production is Rs.5, 50,000.It is estimated that the price of product will
be decreases by Rs.5 or may be increases by Rs.10.Find out the NPV with
scenario analysis. Other information is as follows:

NPV of base price =Rs. (5, 60,000-5, 50,000)
=Rs.10, 000
NPV of price decreases=Rs. (6, 72, 000-5, 50, 000)
=Rs.1,22, 000
NPV (price increases) = Rs. (4, 70,500-5, 50,000)
=- 79,500
So, if the price of
product decreases, NPV and production volume both will be increases but if increases,
NPV and production both will be decreases.
Let’s try to solve another example which helps to understand
difference between scenario analysis and sensitivity analysis.
Sensitivity
Analysis:
Example: Company
X purchase loss incurring company Z in Rs.72, 00,000 and after that Company Z
product Y demand increase in the market due the goodwill of company X, so the
cost of marketing of product reduces by 10%.Find out the NPV.

NPV (Company Z (before sold to X)) = Rs. (70, 00,000-72,
00,000)
= -Rs.2, 00,000
NPV (Company Z (after purchase by X)) =Rs. (76, 50,000-72,
00,000)
= Rs. 4, 50,000
By reducing 10% of
marketing cost NPV turns positive. It shows that other things remain same, only
a change in one variable vary NPV.
Scenario Analysis
Example: Find out
the NPV for next 3 years if it is forecasted that product price will decreases
in future .Other information are as follows:

*Company invests Rs.15, 000 to launch a product.
* Production also increases every 50 unit
*5% price decreases every year.
*Other expenses decreases 3%
Cost of goods sold is Rs.4000, Rs.3500 and Rs.2200
respectively for 3 years.

NPV (current Price) = Rs. (13500-15000)
= -Rs.1500
NPV (1st year) = Rs. (18590-15000)
= Rs. 8590
NPV (2nd year) = Rs. (21678-15000)
=Rs.6678
= Rs.9263
By decreasing price of a product the demand of
a product increases are decrease and the NPV shows positive results. So,
decrease in price of a product in future will be good for the company.
