Question

The decision to keep or drop products or services involves strategic consideration of all the following except: The desired inventory levels of the product. Potential impact of the decision on the demand for the remaining products or services. Potential impact of the decision on employee morale. Potential impact of the decision on pricing of other products offered by the firm. Growth potential of the firm.

Answer 1

The desired inventory levels of the product.

Step-by-step explanation:

The desired inventory levels doesn't have anything to do with the fact that a product should be discontinued or not since it doesn't have any impact on the demand or price for remaining products.

The inventory level of a product can be changed or adjusted several times during a year depending on the expected sales. Sometimes very successful products have very seasonal sales, e.g. toys that are sold more on Christmas than any other time of the year.
