Gce Model Questions Vol1 2020 Civic Education Question 49

A university introduced two anti‑cultism measures for one semester: (i) mandatory counselling for all first‑year students at a cost of \(\text{N}10{,}000\) per student; (ii) random security checks costing \(\text{N}5{,}000\) per check. There are 200 first‑year students. Security checks are carried out 4 times each week for 12 weeks. Before the measures, cult‑related incidents numbered 12; after the semester they fell to 5. Calculate (a) the total cost of the two measures, (b) the number of incidents prevented, (c) the cost per incident prevented, and (d) state whether the programme is cost‑effective if an intervention is deemed cost‑effective when the cost per prevented incident is less than \(\text{N}100{,}000\).
