The company currently has ten security incidents per annum at an average cost of $10,000 per incident. Which of the following is the ROI for this proposal after three years?

Explanation
Return on investment = Net profit / Investment where:Net profit = gross profit expenses. Return on investment = (gain from investment - cost of investment) / cost of investment Subscriptions = 5,000 x 12 = 60,000 per annum 10 incidents @ 10,000 = 100.000 per annumreduce by 50% = 50,000 per annum Thus the rate of Return is -10,000 per annum and that makes for -$30,000 after three years.
