The balance 85% of revenue amounting RM365,500 would still be


incurred. If kept open, the depot would contribute RM 315,000
towards the overheads.
Thus, it would be recommended to keep Malacca depot in operation
as it would only sustain a loss of RM50,000 in contrast to a loss of
RM 365,500 if it were closed.
