Wilson Pharoah is a leading producer of vinyl replacement windows. The company's growth strategy focuses on developing domestic markets in large metropolitan areas. The company operates a single manufacturing plant in Kansas City with an annual capacity of 500,000 windows. Current production is budgeted at 450,000 windows per year, a quantity that has been constant over the past three years. Based on the budget, the accounting department has calculated the following unit costs for the windows:

Direct materials		$40.00
Direct labor		15.00
Manufacturing overhead		16.00
Selling and administrative		14.00
Total unit cost		$85.00

The company's budget includes $5,400,000 in fixed overhead and $3,150,000 in fixed selling and administrative expenses. The windows sell for $150.00 each. A 2% distributor's commission is included in the selling and administrative expenses.

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 Wilson's plant, so Wilson will not incur the $2 per window shipping charge. In addition, Wilson will not need to pay a distributor's 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.

Contribution lost from forgone regular sales	$enter a dollar amount

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