Micah Johnson · Answer 1

they should spend $2 in promotions

Explanation:

Baldwin's Traditional product Basket will lose 1/3 of its 2019 awareness (72%), which will result in only a 48% during 2020. If the product manager wishes to end 2020 with a 92% awareness, they must spend in promotion enough money to raise awareness by 44%.

The first $1 million spent in promotions will increase awareness by 26%, to a total of 74% ( = 48% + 26%). The second $1 million spent in promotions will increase awareness by 18%, to a total of 92% ( = 74% + 18%).
