b. The cable commercial
Explanation:
CPM or cost per mille is a measure used in advertising to determine how effectively a promotional message is getting to its audience. It is the cost of getting an advert in front of 1,000 people.
In this scenario when we calculate CPM for the radio station
$600 = 10,250 listeners
x= 1,000 listeners
Cross multiply
x= (600 * 1,000) ÷ 10,250 = $58.54
For the local cable commercial
$1000 = 18,500 viewers
y = 1,000 viewers
Cross multiply
y= (1,000 * 1,000) ÷ 18,500= $54.05
