Return to the original data. Monk Builders has just signed a contract with the state government to replace the windows in low-income housing units throughout the state. Monk needs 80,000 windows to complete the job and has offered to buy them from Wilson at a price of $110.00 per window. Monk will pick up the windows at Wilsons plant, so Wilson will not incur the $2 per window shipping charge. In addition, Wilson will not need to pay a distributors commission, since the windows will not be sold through a distributor. Calculate the contribution from special order, contribution lost from regular sales and the net contribution from special order.

If Wilson decides to accept Monks offer, it will need to find an additional 30,000 windows to meet both the special order and normal sales. Tamarisk Panes has offered to provide them to Wilson at a price of $130.00 per window. Tamarisk Panes will deliver the windows to Wilson, and Wilson would then distribute them to its customers.
