Question

I need help with all the parts to this question, thank you!

Preventive care is not always cost-effective. Suppose that it costs $200 per person to administer a screening exam for a particular
BY
disease. Also suppose that if the screening exam finds the disease, the early detection given by the exam will avert $2,000 of costly
future treatment.
Instructions: Enter your answers as a whole number.
a. Imagine giving the screening test to 100 people. How much will it cost to give those 100 tests?
$
Imagine a case in which 25 percent of those receiving the screening exam test positive. How much in future costly treatments will be
averted?
$
How much is saved by setting up a screening system?
$
b. Imagine that everything is the same as in part a except that now only 8 percent of those receiving the screening exam test positive.
In this case, how much in future costly treatments will be averted?
$
How much is lost by setting up a screening system?
