(72,000)

     Manufacturing overhead (36,000 × $0.10)

(3,600)

     Shipping and handling (36,000 × $0.25)

(9,000)

     Sales commissions (36,000 × $2)

(72,000)

(29,000)

     Salary of production supervisor

(68,000)

     Allocated companywide facility-level expenses

(81,000)

  Net loss

(10,600)

Required:

a-1. A large discount store has approached the owner of Lang about buying 7,000 calculators. It would replace The Math Machine's label with its own logo to avoid affecting Lang's existing customers. Because the offer was made directly to the owner, no sales commissions on the transaction would be involved, but the discount store is willing to pay only $5.50 per calculator. Calculate the contribution margin from the special order.(Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign.)
