Your organization has a gross sales of $40 million, and you have 100 employees. What is the maximum amount of loss in dollars you can afford so your cybersecurity return on investment (ROI) is one (1) for a year?(1 point) Responses $400,000, $50,000, $328,000, $300,000
To calculate the maximum amount of loss you can afford for a cybersecurity return on investment (ROI) of one (1), you need to consider the formula for ROI:
ROI = (Gain from Investment - Cost of Investment) / Cost of Investment
Since you want an ROI of one (1), you need the gain from investment to be equal to the cost of investment. In this case, the gain from investment is the gross sales of $40 million. Therefore, the cost of investment should also be $40 million.
The formula can be rearranged to calculate the maximum amount of loss:
Loss = Cost of Investment - Gain from Investment
Loss = $40 million - $40 million = $0
From this calculation, the maximum amount of loss you can afford is $0. None of the provided options ($400,000, $50,000, $328,000, $300,000) match this answer.
