An operational risk manager is asked to report a bank's operational risk capital under the Standardized Measurement Approach (SMA) proposed by the Basel Committee in March 2016. The treasury department produces the following data for the bank, calculated according to the SMA guidelines:
Business Indicator (BI): EUR 1,200 million
Internal Loss Multiplier: 1
In addition, the manager uses the Business Indicator buckets in the Business Component presented in the table below:
| Bucket | BI Range | BI Component |
|--------|----------------|----------------------------------|
| 1 | ≤ 1 billion | 12% × BI |
| 2 | 1 billion < BI ≤ 30 billion | EUR 120 million + 15% × (BI - EUR 1 billion) |
| 3 | > 30 billion | EUR 4.47 billion + 18% × (BI - EUR 30 billion) |

A
EUR 120 million
B
