Transcribed image text: Luke Corporation produces a variety of products, each within their own division. Last year, the managers at Luke developed and began marketing a new chewing gum, Bubbs, to sell in vending machines. The product, which sells for $5.55 per case, has not had the market success that managers expected and the company is considering dropping Bubbs.
