Using Net Benefit to Evaluate Risk Response Alternatives Cooper Movie Studio Corp. makes movies and is interested in lowering its operating costs for the following year, while maintaining the high quality and appeal of its movies. Cooper’s management is concerned about the additional costs the company would have to incur if new industry regulation is passed by Congress. The chart at the top of the next page contains a description of this top risk, an inherent risk assessment, three risk response alternatives, and a residual risk assessment for each response alternative.
Finally, Cooper’s management accountants estimate that the incremental cost of implementing risk response A is $3,000,000 and the incremental cost of implementing risk response B is $13,000,000. Required: If an amount is zero, leave it blank or enter "0". 1. Calculate the inherent risk for Cooper. $ 2. Calculate the residual risk for Cooper associated with each of the three risk response alternatives A, B, and C.
3. Calculate the benefit for Cooper associated with each of the three risk response alternatives A, B, and C.
4. Calculate the net benefit for Cooper associated with each of the three risk response alternatives A, B, and C.
5. Using net benefit as the criterion, which risk response should Cooper choose to implement? The risk response alternative with the greatest net benefit is alternative |

1. Calculation of Inherent risk for Copper:- |
Operating segment Likelihood Impact Inherent risk |
Copper = 30% 80,000,000 |
=24,000,000 (80,000,000 * 30%) |
2. Calculation of Residual risk for Copper:- |
Operating segment Likelihood Impact Residual risk |
Copper:- |
A 10%(30-20) |
A = 80,000,000*10% |
=8,000,000 |
B 15%(30-15) |
B = 50,000,000 *15% |
=7,500,000 |
C 30% |
C = 80,000,000 *30% |
=24,000,000 |
3. Calculation of benefit for Copper with each of the risk responses:- | |||
Operating Segment | Inherent risk | Residual risk | Benefit |
A | 24,000,000 | 8,000,000 | 16,000,000 |
B | 24,000,000 | 7,500,000 | 16,500,000 |
C | 24,000,000 | 24,000,000 | 0 |
4. Calculation of net benefit for Copper with each of the risk responses:- | |||
Operating segment | Benefit | Incremental cost | Net benefit |
A | 16,000,000 | 3,000,000 | 13,000,000 |
B | 16,500,000 | 13,000,000 | 3,500,000 |
C | 0 | 0 | 0 |
5. The risk response alternative with the greatest net benefit is Alternative A. |
