Question 1 WAEC_MODEL_QUESTIONS_VOL1 • 2025 • ECONOMICS • objective

A country's poverty rate (P%) is modelled by \(P = a - b\cdot\ln(Y)\), where \(Y\) is real GDP per capita (in Naira). When \(Y = 100{,}000\), \(P = 40\%\); when \(Y = 150{,}000\), \(P = 30\%\). The government aims to reduce poverty to \(20\%\). The investment multiplier is 0.5, meaning each additional Naira of investment raises \(Y\) by 0.5 Naira. How much additional investment per capita (in Naira) is required to achieve the target poverty rate?
