A local PBS station has decided to produce a TV series on Robotic manufacturing. The director of the TV series, Justin Tyme, is currently attempting to analyze some of the projected costs for the series. Tyme intends to take a TV production crew on location to shoot various manufacturing scenes as they occur. If the four week series is shown in the 8:00 – 9:00pm . prime-time slot, the station will have to cancel a wildlife show that is currently scheduled . management projects a 10 percent viewing audience for the wildlife show, and each 1 percent is expected to bring in donation of $10,000. In contrast, the manufacturing show is expected to be watched by 15 percent of the viewing audience. However, each 1 percent of the viewership will likely generate only$5000 in Donations. If the Wildlife show is canceled, it can be sold to network television for $25,000.
