Question: TLC Corporation wants to increase its sales for the next quarter by promoting its product nationwide. The company has budgeted up to P1,000,000 per month for advertising. The money is to be allocated among four promotional media: TV spots, newspaper ads, and two types of radio advertisements. The company’s goal is to reach the largest possible high potential audience through various media. The following table presents the number of potential customers reached by using an advertisement in each of the four media. It also provides the cost per advertisement placed and the maximum number of ads purchased per month.
TLC’s policy requires at least five radio spots to be placed each week. To ensure broad- scoped promotional campaign, management also insists that no more than P400,000 be spent on newspaper advertising every month.

Production costs in A are Rp. 600,000 per ton, in B Rp. 400,000 per ton and in C Rp. 500,000,- per ton. Each factory currently only produces 100,000 tons per day according to market demand, even though the actual installed capacity of the three factories can produce 120,000 tons per day. The company sends production from the three factories to 3 (three) distributor locations, namely X, Y, and Z. The demand for Distributor X is 100,000 tons per day, Distributor Y is 120,000 tons per day, and Distributor Z is 80,000 tons per day. The company wants to use warehouses located at J and K with a storage capacity of 125,000 tons and 175,000 tons per day respectively and shipping costs (in thousands of rupiah) as shown in the table below.

To startwith, the selection of offerings will be intentionally limited. The counter will offer a regular mixof candy made up of equal parts of cashews, raisins, caramels, and chocolates, and a deluxe mixthat is one-half cashews and one-half chocolates, which will be sold in one-pound boxes. In addition, the candy counter will offer individual one-pound boxes of cashews, raisins, caramels, andchocolates.A major attraction of the candy counter is that all candies are made fresh at the counter. However, storage space for supplies and ingredients is limited.
