A recent data breach of U.S.-based Home Depot involved some 56 million cardholders. Just to investigate and cover the immediate direct costs of this identity theft amounted to an estimated $62,000,000, of which $27,000,000 was recovered by insurance company payments. This does not include indirect costs, such as, lost future business, costs to banks, and cost to replace cards. If a cyber security vendor had proposed 8 years before the breach that a $10,000,000 investment in a malware detection system could guard the company's computer and payment systems from such a breach, would it have kept up with the rate of inflation estimated at 4% per year?arrow_forwardNot use ai pleasearrow_forward

You are a purchasing manager at a large car dealership in a busy urban area. You purchase on average 250 cars monthly for the dealership. People are buying new and used cars from your dealership regularly, and business is doing well. Most of your customers are average middle-income households, and they typically purchase bigger cars that are pricey. Your boss, Natalya, invited you for lunch to discuss the next big purchase in preparation for the big Summer sales event. While chatting about the business, Natalya told you the following: "While surfing social media today, I read a government report that says the economy is growing and inflation is rising.
