For a quantitative risk assessment, the equation is ALE = ARO x SLE where the SLE is calculated as the product of asset value x exposure factor. An event that happen once every five years would have an ARO of .2 (1 divided by 5).<br \/>\nSLE = Asset Value (AV) x Exposure Fact (EF) SLE = 1,000,000 x .30 = 300,000<br \/>\nALE = SLE x Annualized Rate of Occurance (ARO) ALE = 300,000 x .2 = 60,000<br \/>\nKnow your acronyms: ALE &#8211;Annual loss expectancy ARO &#8211;Annual rate of occurrence SLE &#8211;Single loss expectancy<br \/>\nThe following are incorrect answers: $300,000 is incorrect.
