Cost-effectiveness ratio = score/cost
Thus, the ratio of each will be:
1) tethered aerostats : 8/4.5 = 1.78
2) boots on the ground : 52/42.1 = 1.235
3) fence : 12/14.2 = 0.8451
4) motion sensors : 7/8 = 0.875
5) seismic sensors : 5/5.6 = 0.8929
6) drones : 26/12.8 = 2.03
Thus we see that:
The activity with lowest cost effectiveness ratio is fence.
The activity with highest cost effectiveness ratio is drones.
The total cost is 4.4 + 42.1 + 14.2+ 8 + 5.6+ 12.8 = 87.1 million dollars.
