Answer:

The total textbook expenditure would amount to $175,000 per year

Step-by-step explanation:

National University is providing text books free of cost to all the engineering students to encourage professional studies. Very few students are pursuing engineering studies. For this purpose university management has decided to give free of cost books to students who select engineering majors. The total expenditure would be:

Cost of Printing Books $110,000

Transportation of the Books to different Campuses $25,000

Distribution Campaign Expense $40,000

Total expenditure amounts to $175,000
