Jamison Health Care is trying to decide if it should eliminate its orthopedic care division. Last year, the orthopedic division had a total contribution margin of $100,000 and allocated overhead costs of $200,000, of which $90,000 could be eliminated if the division were dropped.

On the information given, should Jamison keep the division?

And what other considerations could override a strictly financial analysis to make the decision?
