A.
$2,000
B. $2,500
C. $3,510
D. $3,500

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

Explanation: The annualized loss expectancy in her project will be $2,500. Annualized loss expectancy (ALE) is the annually expected financial loss to an organization from a threat. The annualized loss expectancy (ALE) is the product of the annual rate of occurrence (ARO) and the single loss expectancy (SLE). It is mathematically expressed as follows: ALE = Single Loss Expectancy (SLE) * Annualized Rate of Occurrence (ARO) Here, it is as follows: ALE = SLE * ARO = 250,000 * 0.01 = 2,500 Answer: D, C, and A are incorrect. These are not valid answers.
