Question:
A television producer designs a program based on a comedian and time for commercials. The advertiser insists on at least 2 minutes of advertising time, the station insists on no more than 4 minutes of advertising time, and the comedian insists on at least 24 minutes of the comedy program. Also, the total time allotted for the advertising and comedy portions of the program cannot exceed 30 minutes. If it has been determined that each minute of advertising (very creative) attracts 40,000 viewers and each minute of the comedy program attracts 45,000 viewers, how should the time be divided between advertising and programming to maximize the number of viewers per minute?
