I feel like it’s definitely higher than 1.2 kcal/g, maybe closer to 3.4 kcal/g?

Okay, let me think this through. I believe the key is to identify the PRIMARY reason, so I'll need to carefully consider each option and how it relates to the overall purpose of using quantitative criteria.

I remember working on a similar question about NPV sensitivity. I think I need to use the formula for sensitivity but I'm not totally sure how to apply it here.
