Problem 1
Suppose the charity decided to maximize total donations, given its budget limit on advertising.
How should advertising funds be spent, and what amount will be raised in donations as a result?
use excel solver to solve this
A well-known charity is interested in conducting a TV campaign to solicit contributions. The
campaign will be conducted in two metropolitan areas. Past experience indicates that, in each
city, the total contributions are a function of the amount of money expended for TV
advertisements. Specifically, the charity has estimated response functions that indicate the
percentage of the population making a donation as a function of the dollars spent on TV
advertisement. The form of this function is y = 1 e x , where x represents the advertising
expenditure (in thousands of dollars), y represents the percentage donating, and is a parameter
that differs from city to city. The charity has earmarked a fund of $400 , 000 for advertising
between the two cities and wants to determine the best allocation of these funds.
