Med Lab Testing performs five different tests (T1-T5) to detect drug use. Most clients are referred to the company by potential employers who pay for the tests. Revenue and costs related to the tests, for the most recent fiscal year, are detailed in the table below.

Setting up equipment to conduct a test is the responsibility of three highly skilled technicians, one of whom is Emmet, founder and owner of the company. Tests T2 to T5 are high-volume tests that are conducted in batches of 100 tests per batch. Thus, for example, T5 is run approximately three times a day to annually process 92,000 tests in 920 batches. T1 is a test with relatively low demand. However, it is run almost every day (350 runs per year), so that results can be quickly communicated to employers. This fast turnaround represents a significant competitive advantage for the company.

Advanced Systems, Inc., is one of the few companies that requires T1. Indeed, it accounted for almost half of the 3,500 T1 tests conducted in the past year. Recently, Ron Worth, vice president of operations at Advanced Systems, questioned the relatively high price being charged for T1. In a letter to Emmet he noted:

We pay $35 for each T1 test, which is about 40% higher than your next most expensive test. Is this charge warranted? Frankly, this isn't just a matter of dollars and cents. We believe that we are being taken advantage of because we are one of the few companies that requires the test, and you are one of the few companies that provide it. If we believed that the high price was justified in terms of significantly higher costs, we would not be writing this letter.

Before responding to Worth's letter, Emmet reviewed the revenue and cost data presented in the table below. As indicated, T1 produced a profit of $5.90 per test, which was much higher than the profit per test of any of the other procedures. However, since taking a day-long continuing education course at City College (titled ABC and Managing by the Right Numbers!), Emmet has wondered whether the profitability of tests is being distorted by the company's simple approach to allocating overheadoverhead allocation is based on direct labor cost. Direct labor consists of wages and benefits paid to relatively unskilled technicians who prepare samples for testing. This cost, $325,650, is only 9.6 percent of total overhead. With help from his bookkeeper, Emmet began to analyze overhead costs in an attempt to calculate the ABC cost of the five tests. In the past year, overhead amounted to $3,386,760, as follows:

Overhead	Costs
Setup labor	$925,760
Equipment	1,476,000
Rent	390,000
Billing	235,000
Clerical	160,000
Other	200,000
Total	$3,386,760

Emmet's analysis of these six overhead cost categories was as follows:

Profitability of Tests for the Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 2020
	T1	T2	T3	T4	T5	Total
Number of tests per year	3,500	52,000	72,000	80,000	92,000	299,500
Number of runs	350	520	720	800	920	3,310
Price per test	$ 35.00	$26.00	$22.00	$21.00	$20.00
Less:
Material cost	12.00	10.50	7.50	7.35	5.85
Direct labor at $18 per hour	1.50	1.00	1.10	1.10	1.10
Overhead at $10.40 per labor hour	15.60	10.40	11.44	11.44	11.44
Total cost	29.10	21.90	20.04	19.89	18.39
Profit per test	$ 5.90	$ 4.10	$ 1.96	$ 1.11	$ 1.61
Total profit	$20,650	$ 213,200	$141,120	$88,800	$ 148,120	$ 611,890
Total overhead	$54,600	$ 540,800	$823,680	$ 915,200	$1,052,480	$ 3,386,760
Total labor	$ 5,250	$ 52,000	$ 79,200	$ 88,000	$ 101,200	$ 325,650

Setup labor ($925,760). This amount is essentially the salary and benefits paid to Emmet and the two other skilled technicians who set up equipment for testing batches of T1 to T5. Emmet believes that the number of runs (batches of tests) is a valid driver for this cost pool. In the past year, there were 3,310 runs.

Equipment ($1,476,000). This amount is depreciation on equipment used to process the tests. All of the major pieces of equipment are used in each test. (In other words, no major piece of equipment is used exclusively for any individual test.) Emmet believes that the amount of direct labor cost is a valid driver for this cost pool. This follows because equipment hours vary with direct labor hours and direct labor cost. In the past year, total direct labor was $325,650.

Rent ($390,000). This amount is the annual rent on the facility occupied by Med Lab Testing. Emmet believes that the number of tests (299,500 in the prior year) is a valid driver for this cost pool since each test benefits equally from the incurrence of rent expense.

Billing ($235,000). This amount is the annual salary and benefits of two billing clerks as well as a variety of other charges (e.g., billing software costs). Here, too, the number of tests (299,500) is a valid driver for this cost pool since each test requires a separate billing charge.

Clerical ($160,000). This amount is the annual salary and benefits of two general clerical employees who process orders for supplies, file records, and so on. The same number of tests (299,500) is also a valid driver for this cost pool since each test benefits equally from the incurrence of clerical expense.

Other ($200,000). This amount includes the salary and benefits of the bookkeeper, depreciation on office equipment, utilities, and so on. Lastly, the same number of tests (299,500) in the prior year is a valid driver for this cost pool since each test benefits equally from the incurrence of these expenses.

Required

1. Based on Emmet's assumptions, calculate the ABC cost per unit and profit per unit of each test. Round to 4 decimal places.
2. Should Emmet lower the price of the T1 test, or keep the current price and risk losing the business of Advanced Systems?
3. Assume that Emmet, based on his ABC analysis, decides not to lower the price of the T1 test. What will be the effect on annual company profit if the company loses the business of Advanced Systems (i.e., T1 tests decrease by 1,750)?
