Question
100%
In
2020​,
Alderman
​& Sons, a small​ environmental-testing firm, performed
12,400
radon tests for
$320
each and
16,600
lead tests for
$220
each. Because newer homes are being built with​ lead-free pipes,​ lead-testing volume is expected to decrease by
15​%
next year.​ However, awareness of​ radon-related health hazards is expected to result in a
6​%
increase in​ radon-test volume each year in the near future. Jim
Alderman
feels that if he lowers his price for lead testing to
$210
per​ test, he will have to face only a
5​%
decline in​ lead-test sales in
2021.
