Answer and Explanation:

The preparation of the analysis is shown below:

Particulars Continue Eliminate Net Income (Decrease)

Sales $200,000 $0 - $200,000

Less: Variable Costs $176,000 $0 - $176,000

Contribution margin $24,000 $0 - $24,000

Fixed Costs $30,600 $20,600 $10,000

Net Income/Loss - $6,600 - $20,600 - $14,000

As we can see that in both the cases whether eliminate or continue the amounts comes in negative but in continue there is a less amount of loss as compared to eliminated one

Therefore, in this case, the big Bart line could be continued
