A department store chain has up to22,000 to spend on television advertising for a sale. All ads will be placed with one televisionstation, where a30-second ad costs 1,000 on daytime TV and is viewed by 4,000 potentialcustomers, 2,000 onprime-time TV and is viewed by 24,000 potentialcustomers, and 1,500 onlate-night TV and is viewed by 18,000 potential customers. The television station will not accept a total of more than 20 ads in all three time periods.

How many ads should be placed in each time period in order to maximize the number of potential customers who will see theads? How many potential customers will see theads? (Ignore repeated viewings of the ad by the same potentialcustomer.) Include an interpretation of any nonzero slack variables in the optimal solution.

Select the correct choice below and fill in any answer boxes present in your choice.

A.The maximum number of potential customers who see the ads is ___ people when ___ daytimeads, ___ prime-time ads, and ___ late-night ads are placed.

B.There is no way to maximize the number of potential customers.

Include an interpretation of any nonzero slack variables in the optimal solution.

A.In thiscase, s1=10 dollars not used.

B.In thiscase, s2=4,000 ads not used.

C.In thiscase, s1=4,000 dollars not used and s2=10 ads not used.

D.There are no nonzero slack variables in the optimal solution.
