H$.$ EVALUATING PRODUCT LINES

Select Floorings Inc. is a British Columbia$-$based home hardware manufacturing company that sells its products to retailers across Canada. With the company growing year after year, new products have been developed to replace obsolete ones. As the product manager for the hardwood flooring division, you've been asked to cut one of the current flooring selections, as a new hardwood type is being developed. Taking into account the profitability of each product in your product line, which hardwood type would you recommend that the chief marketing officer eliminate?

The company doesn't have a sales force, but sells through manufacturer's agents who receive a $7\%$ commission on sales.
