The following additional information is available:

* The factory rent of $1,500 assigned to Product C is avoidable if the product were dropped.
* The company's total depreciation would not be affected by dropping C.
* Eliminating Product C will reduce the monthly utility bill from $1,500 to $800.
* All supervisors' salaries are avoidable.
* If Product C is discontinued, the maintenance department will be able to reduce monthly expenses from $3,000 to $2,000.
* Elimination of Product C will make it possible to cut two persons from the administrative staff; their combined salaries total $3,000.

Required:

Prepare an analysis showing whether Product C should be eliminated.

Product C              Relevent Cost
Variable Expense    20000
Factory Rent          1500

Maintenance           1000(3000-2000)
Admin                   3000
Total                     26200
Sales                    30000

Total Savings =3800(3000-26200)   As the relevant cost of product C is less than earning, the company should not eliminate product C.
