You are the project manager of the NHQ project in Bluewell Inc. The project has an asset valued at $200,000 and is subjected to an exposure factor of 45 percent. If the annual rate of occurrence of loss in this project is once a month, then what will be the Annual Loss Expectancy (ALE) of the project?

  1. $ 2,160,000
  2. $ 95,000
  3. $ 108,000
  4. $ 90,000

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The ALE of this project will be $ 108,000.
Single Loss Expectancy is a term related to Quantitative Risk Assessment. It can be defined as the monetary value expected from the occurrence of a risk on an asset. It is mathematically expressed as follows:
SLE = Asset value * Exposure factor

Therefore,
SLE = 200,000 * 0.45
= $ 90,000

As the loss is occurring once every month, therefore ARO is 12. Now ALE can be calculated as follows: ALE = SLE * ARO
= 90,000 * 12
= $ 108,000



Which of the following is a performance measure that is used to evaluate the efficiency of an investment or to compare the efficiency of a number of different investments?

  1. Return On Security Investment
  2. Total Cost of Ownership
  3. Return On Investment
  4. Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Return On Investment (ROI) is a performance measure used to evaluate the efficiency of an investment or to compare the efficiency of a number of different investments. To calculate ROI, the benefit (return) of an investment is divided by the cost of the investment; the result is expressed as a percentage or a ratio.

The return on investment formula:
ROI = (Gain from investment - Cost of investment) / Cost of investment

In the above formula "gains from investment", refers to the proceeds obtained from selling the investment of interest.

Incorrect Answers:
A, B: These options are not related to the measurement of efficiency of an investment.

D: RAID is described as a redundant array of inexpensive disks. It is a technology that allows computer users to achieve high levels of storage reliability from low-cost and less reliable PC-class disk-drive components, via the technique of arranging the devices into arrays for redundancy.

of availability.

C: Effectiveness deals with information being relevant and pertinent to the business process as well as being delivered in a timely, correct, consistent and usable manner. While the lack of system resilience can in some cases affect effectiveness, resilience is more closely linked to the business information requirement of availability.
