What is the intersection of the assessed probability and severity of a hazard called in the RM process?

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

(1) Assessment

Explanation:

The intersection of the assessed probability and severity of a hazard in the risk management process is called 'risk assessment'

Risks are usually assessed in two broad areas namely: Probability of occurrence and Impact.

Probability of occurrence has to do with the degree of likelihood that a risk will materialize while 'impact' tries to access how much damage the risk is likely to cause, in the event that it materializes.

In summary, risk management usually views risk as a function of probability and impact.

McDonald's major distribution partner, The Martin-Brower Company, needs at least $1 million to build a new warehouse in Medicine

aleksley [76]

Answer:

No it wont have enough money to build a warehouse in two years.

Explanation:

Firstly we are given that the warehouse is $1 million so the company needs to save this amount of money in two years time.

We know that the company has invested $500000 to date therefore we need to calculate if this $50000 per quarter investment will cover the the other portion for $500000 to meet the warehouse cost of $1 million so we will use the future value annuity formula to calculate this which is :

Fv = C[((1+i)^n -1)/i]

where Fv will be the future value after two years of the $50000 investment

C is the periodic payment of $50000

i is the interest rate per period which is 6% per quarter

n is the number of periods the payment is done here it is 4 x 2years= 8 periods / investments of $50000 that will be done.

thereafter we substitute on the above formula:

Fv = 50000[((1+6%)^8 - 1)/6%]

Fv = $494873.40

then we combine this amount to $500000 to see if it reaches $1 million

$494873.40+ $500000 = $994873.40 which is close to the warehouse cost of $1 million but it does not reach it so the company wont have enough money to purchase the warehouse.
