The budget allows for 6 ads in the consumer magazine (6 x $250 = $1,500) and 3 ads in the business magazine (3 x $500 = $1,500), totaling $3,000. The reach is calculated as follows: 3 business ads reach 3 x (300 lawyers + 1,000 MBAs) = 3,900 people, and 6 consumer ads reach 6 x (250 lawyers + 300 MBAs) = 3,300 people. The total reach is (3,900 + 3,300) = 7,200 people. The points (3,250, 3,900) and (1,950, 6,500) represent the combinations of lawyers and MBAs reached.
