The manufacturing space of a company is the facility utilized by the company in production of a product. In case when the manufacturing space is huge and fixed, a company could incur a high amount of fixed cost on it if it drops a particular product. So the decision lies with how or where the company will use the idle manufacturing space to eliminate the fixed cost up to some extent or even make profit on it.

2. What type of income statement use to evaluate business decisions such as dropping a product? Why?
