There is one more resource of income from the magazine which is advertising. What sum of money was obtained from the advertising in magazine?

Answer 1

Total cost of Setting up magazine = $Rs.2800$

Total cost of paper and ink = $Rs.1600$

Total cost of printing = $Rs.3200$

Total Expenditure on magazines = $Rs.7600$

Total sale price = $5\times 1500=7500$

Total profit earned $=\frac{1}{4}\times 7500=1875$
