Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) — Question 3

What is the approximate cost of replacement and recovery operation per year of a hard drive that has a value of $300 given that the technician who charges $10/ hr would need 10 hours to restore OS and Software and needs further 4 hours to restore the database from the last backup to the new hard disk? Calculate the
SLE, ARO, and ALE. Assume the EF = 1 (100%).

Answer options

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is $146, which is derived from the technician's total charge of $140 for the OS and Software restoration (10 hours at $10/hour) plus $40 for the database restoration (4 hours at $10/hour). The other options are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the total cost based on the given hours and hourly rate.
