A marketing research profossor is conducting a telephone survey and needs to contact at least 160 wives, 140 husbands, 110 single adult males, and 120 single adult females. It costs $2 to make a daytime call and $4 (because of higher labor costs) to make an evening call. The table shown below lists the expected results. For example, 10% of all daytime calls are answered by a single male, and 15% of all evening calls are answered by a single female. Because of a limited staff, at most half of all phone calls can be evening calls. Daytime Evening Percentages 25% Wife 25% 30% Husband 15% 25% Single male 10% Single female 15% 15% None 35% 5% What is the objective function of this linear programming problem?
