In this question, there is need to determine contribution, which is the excess of sales over relevant costs. Relevant costs are comprised of variable cost and avoidable fixed costs. The product should not be discontinued since the contribution is positive. Deleting a product with positive contribution reduces the total profit of the company by the amount of positive contribution.
