If keeps production it will lose 12,000

It will lose 62,000 more if discontinues

It is a disadvantage to eliminate this product.

Step-by-step explanation:

units of X 15,500

unit sales price 25

unit variable cost 19

contribution for X 93,000

105,000 fixed cost

operating result: -12,000

If discontinued then the result will be -74,000

Because, those fixed cost would not be avoidable even if the product was discontinued.

So the annual fiancial disadvantage will be (-74,000) - (-12,000) = -62,000

It will lose 62,000 more cash if discontinues
