upcoming election. He has dollar 90, 500 to spend. His
political consultants have provided him with the following
estimates of additional votes as a result of the advertising
effort: For every small sign placed by the roadside, he will
garner 140 additional votes. For every large sign placed
by the roadside, he will garner 30 additional votes. For
every thousand bumper stickers placed on cars, he will
garner 10 additional votes. For every hundred personal
mailings to registered voters, he will garner 40 additional
votes, and For every radio ad heard daily in the last month
before the election, he will garner 485 additional votes.
The costs for each of these advertising devices, along with
