To check the feasibility of the plan, let us calculate how quickly the newspaper carrier will have to deliver a newspaper.

Each side of the area will contain 1000m/10m or 100 houses. Therefore, in total, a carrier will have to distribute newspapers to a total of 100*100 or 10,000 houses.

But since a single carrier only has 3 hours or 10,800 (3*60*60) seconds, he will have to distribute one newspaper in 10,000/10,800 seconds.

The plan seems infeasible as delivering a newspaper in less than a second is nearly impossible.

In such a scenario hiring more newspaper carriers should be the best alternative; but since we have budget constraints, we could consider the following:

• Reduce distribution area
• Change distribution method

It is an infeasible plan as it is impossible to deliver more than one newspaper in a second. The client should consider reducing the distribution area or changing the distribution method for the plan to become feasible.

One way could be by delivering only to the most profitable potential customers.

The client could co-distribute with other publications or agencies.
