For the marketing example in this chapter, if the budget is increased by $20,000, how much will audience exposures be increased? If Biggs Department Store wanted the same total number of people exposed to each of the three types of advertisements, how should the linear programming model be reformulated? What would be the new solution for this reformulated model?

The profits of the four major networks (CBS, NBC, ABC and Fox) depend significantly on the ratings of its prime time shows. The higher the ratings, the higher the price the network can charge for advertising and the higher the profits of the network. To keep things simple, we will focus on two networks, CBS and NBC, and two of the prime time spots, 8-9PM and 9-10PM. Each network needs to decide which time slot to place its hit show, 8-9PM or 9-10PM. The other time slot will be filled by a run of the mill show. The following payoff matrix shows the total number of viewers (in millions) if each network places its hit show in each of the time slots: CBS 8-9PM time slot 9-10PM time slot NBC 8-9PM time slot 100, 110 85, 120 9-10PM time slot 120, 40 70, 90 If you are the program manager for CBS, what time slot would you place your hit TV show (assuming that your goal is to maximize the number of viewers)? Please explain why. If you are the program…
