Ruby Airlines offers its passenger the opportunity to join Ruby Express Club that entitles a traveler to use the club facilities at any Malaysian airports.

Ruby Airlines offers its passenger the opportunity to join Ruby Express Club that entitles a traveler to use the club facilities at any Malaysian airports. Club privileges include a private lounge and restaurant, discounts on meals and beverages and use of a small health spa.

As with other airlines around the globe, Ruby has been facing a decline in profit attributable to the Covid19 pandemic movement restriction. The Club, in particular, has shown consistent loss.

The recent statement follows:

Sales revenue

RM150,000

Variable expenses:

Food and beverages

Personnel

Variable overhead

(70,000)

(40,000)

(25,000)

Contribution margin

15,000

Fixed expenses:

Club building Depreciation

Supervisory salary

Airport fees

General overhead (allocated)

(30,000)

(25,000)

(15,000)

(10,000)

Profit (loss)

(65,000)

All Clubs variable expenses can be avoided should the club be discontinued. However, Ruby will continue to own the club building. The supervisory staff will no longer be employed if the club closes. Ruby will no longer pay the airport fee.

Required:

Decide whether Ruby should discontinue the club operations. Show your computation.
