The table presents the annual costs for students undertaking Master’s programs in three different countries (A, B, and C) in 2007, measured in US dollars. The costs are broken down into four subject fees (Arts, Business, Computing, Science) and accommodation with meals.

Overall, Country B and Country C generally had significantly higher costs than Country A across all categories. The most expensive country overall was Country B for subject fees and Country C for accommodation.

Regarding subject fees, Country A consistently offered the lowest costs, ranging from $12, 000 for Arts to $18,000 for Computing and Science. Country B had the highest fees for Computing ($27, 254) and Science ($28, 675), while Country C charged a uniform fee of $21, 783 for Arts, Business, and Computing.

For accommodation with meals, the costs followed a clear upward trend from Country A ($8,000) to Country B ($11,256) and peaked in Country C at $17, 345. This made accommodation in Country C more than double the price of Country A.

In summary, Country A was the most affordable option for both tuition and living expenses, whereas students in Country B and C faced substantially higher financial commitments in 2007.
