The depreciation in housekeeping is for a small van that is used to carry the housekeepers and their equipment from job to job. If the program were discontinued, the van would be donated to a charitable organization. None of the general administrative overhead would be avoided if the housekeeping program were dropped, but the liability insurance and the salary of the program administrator would be avoided.

Based on the financial advantage (disadvantage) of discontinuing the Housekeeping program calculated in requirement Req 1A, should the Housekeeping program be discontinued? 2-a.
