In, ​& Sons, a small​ environmental-testing firm, has a small environmental-testing firm, performed 11,400 radon tests for $

260 each and 15,000 lead tests for $210 each. Because newer homes are being built with lead-free pipes, lead-testing volume is expected to decrease by 12% next year. However, awareness of radon-related health hazards is expected to result in a 5% increase in radon-test volume each year in the near future. Jim Hart feels that if he lowers his price for lead testing to $200 per test, he will have to face only a 4% decline in lead-test sales in 2018.
Required:
a. Prepare a 2018 sales budget for Hart & Sons assuming that Hart holds prices at 2017 levels.
b. Prepare a 2018 sales budget for Hart & Sons assuming that Hart lowers the price of a lead test to $200.
c. Should Hart lower the price of a lead test in 2018 if the company’s goal is to maximize sales revenue?

Lead tests $210*13,200= $2,772,000

(15,000 x 0.88 = 13,200)
