GOOD MUSIC BROADCASTING CORPORATION: Ebb Tide
Engineer Frederick Panganiban was reading the advertising sales report handed to him by his assistant. The report contains information consolidated from the ten radio stations owned and operated by Good Music Broadcasting Corporation (GMB). These stations are located in the various parts of the country.
GMBC headquarters and sales office are located in Makati. GMBC derives income from advertisements lodged by companies like San Miguel Corporation, Ayala Life, and others. The sales office receives the cassette tapes and written text containing the advertising messages of the client companies.
The tapes are meant to be played at regular intervals in all of the ten radio stations operated by GMBC. The written text is an alternate advertising form read by the radio announcers at regular intervals. An advertising message does not exceed one minute. The advertisers are billed depending on the frequency of exposure of their messages.
Each station is managed by a station manager who reports directly to Engineer Panganiban, the general manage. The stations are allowed to slots after accommodating the national advertisers.
A certain portion of the advertising income is credited to the account of the individual stations depending on the assignments sent to them by the GMBC headquarters. The total advertising income of station consists of the credited account from the head office plus whatever income from local advertisers is derived.
Engineer Panganiban is now reviewing the consolidated sales report. He wants some improvement in operations so that the overall income will increase. He feels that the sales report is useful, but he believes some other data may help him make a better decision.

Answer:
Engineer Panganiban has a very good idea in asking for the consolidated sales report of the radio stations in the last 3 years. The radio stations in San Pablo, Naga and Dumaguete greatly reduces their income.
Station Advertising Income
1995 1996 1997
1. San Pablo P 8,988 P 7,676 P 6,493
2. Naga P 11,048 P 12,121
3. Dumaguete P 11,540 P 10,001
San Pablo has an overall income loss of P 2,495 (28%), Naga has an overall loss of P 3,333 (27%) and Dumaguete has an overall income loss of P 2,046 (17%) in the last 3 years. San Pablo has an average of 15% income loss per year. Naga gained 9% income in 1995 to 1996 but lost 27% its income in 1996 to 1997. Dumaguete has an average of 9% income loss each year. This means that the three radio stations needs improvement with its rating to increase their advertising income. Make find new ideas for new shows that convinces the public to tune in to the radio. Find out what’s the daily trend and hire new radio announcers and DJ. Give fresh news, live interviews, live news reports and give good music background. Make a segment for music’s daily top ten, then let people request their desired songs. Improvement for these three station could help increase its advertising income.
