Neco Model Questions Vol1 2025 Commerce Question 3

A company must produce a business report containing 12,000 words. With Times New Roman 12‑pt, single spacing and 1‑inch margins, each page can accommodate 500 words. The report includes three tables, each occupying half a page, a title page printed on one side only, and a specially designed cover page printed on one side only. The cover page costs \(\text{₦}500\) per side, while all other pages cost \(\text{₦}200\) per side. Printing is double‑sided, but the title and cover pages are single‑sided. The cost schedule is: first 100 sides at \(\text{₦}200\) each, next 200 sides at \(\text{₦}180\) each, and any side beyond that at \(\text{₦}150\) each. A binding fee of \(\text{₦}2{,}500\) is charged only if the total number of pages exceeds 150. What is the total cost (in Naira) to produce and bind the report?
