\table[[\table[[Advertising],[Source]],\table[[Potential Customers],[Reached per Ad]],\table[[Cost per],[Ad ($)]],\table[[Maximum Times],[Available per Month]],\table[[Exposure],[Quality Units]]],[\table[[Daytime TV],[(1-min. commercial)]],1,000,1,500,15,65],[\table[[Evening TV],[(30-sec. commercial)]],2,000,3,000,10,90],[\table[[Daily Newspaper],[(full page ad)]],1,500,400,25,40],[\table[[Sunday Newspaper],[(1/2 page color)]],2,500,1,000,4,75],[\table[[Radio],[(30 second spot)]],300,100,30,20]]
NDI's goal is to maximize the total exposure quality from the ad campaign. The client has given NDI an advertising budget of $30,000(see constraint [1] below) and has imposed several restrictions on its use. Specifically, at least 10 TV commercials must be used, but no more than $18,000 may be spent on these commercials (constraints [2]-[3]). Also, the client wants at least 50,000 potential customers to be reached through all sources (constraint [4]). Finally, the fourth column of the table above gives limits on the number of times each advertising source may be used in a month (constraints [5]-[9]).
LP Formulation: NDI has 5 decisions to make: DT, ET, DN, SN and RA, the number of Daytime TV, Evening TV, Daily Newspaper, Sunday Newspaper and Radio Ads to run in the campaign, respectively. NDI's LP is as follows:
\table[[Maximize,65DT,+,90ET,+,40DN,+,75SN,+20RA,Z,],[subject to:,1,500DT,+,3,000ET,+,400DN,+,1,000SN,+100RA,30,000,[1]],[,DT,+,ET,,,,,,10,[2]],[,1,500DT,+,3,000ET,,,,,,18,000,[3]],[,1,000DT,+,2,000ET,+,1,500DN,+,2,500SN,+300RA,50,000,[4]],[,DT,,c,,,,,,15,[5]]]
