It is simple 1)SLE=AV(asset value) x EF(exposure Factor) This just to see how much cost a company incur from at anytime an incident happens. 2)ALE= SLE X ROI meaning what will be the annual cost which is sinlge loss of an event times rate of occurrence (how frequently the incident occur in a given time) So the question is asking what is sinlge loss of an event that is SLE= AV x EF

ALE is SLE x ARO, not ROI. Annual rate of occurrence, not return of investment.

I'll go with provided answer. Quantitative risk assessment aims to assign concrete values to each risk factor. Single Loss Expectancy (SLE)—The amount that would be lost in a single occurrence of the risk factor. This is determined by multiplying the value of the asset by an Exposure Factor (EF). EF is the percentage of the asset value that would be lost. Annual Loss Expectancy (ALE)—The amount that would be lost over the course of a year. This is determined by multiplying the SLE by the Annual Rate of Occurrence (ARO). Thank fonka....
