Textbook Question
Chapter 25, Problem 9TI
McCollum Company manufactures two products. Both products have the same sales price, and the volume of sales is equivalent. However, due to the difference in production processes, Product A has higher variable costs and Product B has higher fixed costs. Management is considering dropping Product B because that product line has an operating loss.
If fixed costs cannot be avoided, should McCollum drop Product B? Why or why not?
