| 2a) Modify the model to incorporate this condition, and then re-optimize to find the new optimal solution. How much does satisfying this condition cost GFC compared to the optimal solution for the original problem? |
| | The new optimal solution is $1894, and the original problem's optimal solution is $1880. which is $1894-$1880=$14 increase for satisfying this condition cost. |
| 2b) Run a sensitivity analysis (either via SolverTable or manually with Solver, copying and pasting the results as needed) to see how sensitive the optimal solution (ad strategy) and total costs are to the maximum number of ads allowed on any one show. Let the maximum number of ads on any one show range from 5 to 17 in increments of 2 (i.e., use 5, 7, 9, …, 17). |
| 2c) Make a chart (“tradeoff curve”) from the results showing how total costs change as a function of the maximum number of ads allowed. |
