Answer 1

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.
