Once the tasks have been determined, the costs associated with those tasks are assessed, and a budget is determined.

Question 6

A full page advertisement in Women's Weekly magazine costs around $69 000.If the magazine has a readership of 1.6 million,this magazine's cost per thousand is about $________.
