The advertising agency promoting the new PCC dishwashing detergent wants to get the best exposure possible for the product within the P100,000 advertising budget ceiling placed upon it. To do so, the agency needs to decide how much of the budget to spend on each of its two most effective media: (1) television spots during the afternoon hours and (2) large ads in the Sunday newspaper. Each television spot costs P3,000; each Sunday newspaper ad costs P1,250. The expected exposure, based on industry ratings, is 35,000 viewers for each TV commercial and 20,000 readers for each newspaper advertisement. The agency director, John Ng, knows from experience that it is important to use both media in order to reach the broadest spectrum of potential PCC customers. He decides that at least 5 but no more than 25 television spots should be ordered; and that at least 10 newspaper ads should be contracted.
