Single-serve meals make up about 5% of total sales revenue and have the lowest contribution margin of the three products. Taylor is trying to decide whether to eliminate single-serve meal kits but is unsure how it would affect profit and the number of meals donated to homeless families. The following additional details are available: The variable costs of the single serve meals (as well as the donated meals) could be avoided. About 10% of the fixed costs that are currently allocated to the single serve meals could be avoided. Taylor believes that about 25% of single serve customers would switch to dual-serving meals, but would reduce their order size to from 4 meals per week to 2 meals per week. Should Taylor eliminate the single-serve meals from her product/service offering? Why or why not?
