Suppose that a course of chemotherapy costs $100,000. If given to patient A, it will increase life expectancy by one month; for patient B, by six months; for patient C, by two month; for patient D, by five months; and for patient E, by four months. The marginal cost per additional year of life for the patient most likely to benefit is and the marginal cost per additional year of life for the patient least likely to benefit is $100,000; $100,000 $100,000; $1,200,000 $200,000; $100,000 O $200,000; $1,200,000
