To calculate the maximum amount of loss in dollars you can afford, we need to determine the cybersecurity ROI. The formula to calculate ROI is:
ROI = (Net Profit - Investment Cost) / Investment Cost
Since the question states that the cybersecurity ROI should be 1, we can rearrange the formula to solve for the maximum loss:
Net Profit - Investment Cost = Investment Cost
Net Profit = 2 * Investment Cost
In this case, the gross sales of $40 million represents the investment cost. So, the maximum amount of loss you can afford is:
Maximum loss = 2 * $40 million
Maximum loss = $80 million
Therefore, the correct answer is $80 million, which is not listed in the given options.
