The managing director is considering dropping the product line as it would mean saving RM45,000 by dismissing the line's supervisor and eliminating depreciation. a) Should the tiles division be closed based on the above information? Show your analysis of data. b) Discuss 3 qualitative factors that would need to be considered before a decision on whether to keep or drop a product is adopted? c) The marketing manager suggested that if the tile product is dropped, sales and variable costs of blocks would reduce by 10%, and sales and variable costs of bricks by 8% since customers tend to buy all three products together. Hence if the tile product is dropped, customers will buy blocks and bricks elsewhere. Does this mean it is better to keep the tile product line?
