The direct fixed costs reflect equipment used specially for each dish. The equipment used for Pork has no resale or reuse value. As customers value diversity in product selection, management expects that elimination of Pork will decrease the sales of Beef by 5% and will decrease the sales of Chicken by 8%. Required: Provide a recommendation as to whether Korean BBQ Plate should discontinue the Pork platter from a financial point of view. Support your recommendation with relevant cost and benefit analysis. (10 marks)
