The recovery point objective (RPO) is the maximum amount of data loss that an organization can tolerate in the event of a disaster or system failure. In this scenario, the maximum acceptable loss of data is 2,500 transactions, which is the same as the average number of transactions recorded per hour. Therefore, the RPO is 1 hour, meaning that the accounting department must be able to recover all data within one hour of a system failure, to ensure that no more than 2,500 transactions are lost.
