Neco Model Questions Vol1 2025 Commerce Question 24

A consumer sees an advertisement for a washing machine listed at \(\N{150,000}\) with a "20% discount" and a "cash rebate of \N{10,000}\". The ad also claims "Free delivery within Lagos". After purchase the seller reveals that a hidden surcharge of \(\N{15,000}\) was added before the discount, the cash rebate is only given if the buyer registers online within 7 days (which the consumer missed), and the consumer was charged \(\N{12,000}\) for delivery. The consumer paid the full amount at the store. Determine the effective price actually paid, the net saving (if any) compared with the advertised list price, and state whether the advertisement is likely to be considered misleading under the Nigerian Consumer Protection Act.
