9.5.2  Cost of Debt Sensitivity

A similar sensitivity analysis is performed for cost of debt estimates. Again, Partnerships BC uses a percentage range around the base cost of debt. The results of this analysis are typically illustrated in a table that compares the impact of a change in the cost of debt on the ASP, and on the corresponding quantitative value for money. Figure 10 below shows the results of this analysis based on + / - one per cent range around the base cost of debt.
