The formula to calculate the Net Media Cost (NMC) is:
\[ \text{NMC} = \text{GMC} \times \left(1 - \frac{\text{CR}}{100}\right) \]
Where:
Gross media advertising is the total amount spent on advertising or media. Net media advertising cost is the amount spent directly on the ads themselves minus the commission of the ad placing company.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ \text{NMC} = 10000 \times \left(1 - \frac{15}{100}\right) = 10000 \times 0.85 = 8500 \]
The Net Media Cost (NMC) is $8,500.
