Does anyone know why the last option requires a special order? Is it because it only specifies the Phillips drive type and for this, it can either require a special order or not?

There are three types of Phillips drive, with different prices.
The condition given in the question is to purchase 250 phillips drive costing less than $65. We have price of one box(having 50 screws)- as below
(not writing the table heading, same as question)

FroundyesPhillips13.89


HpannoPhillips 11.98
IroundyesPhillips 16.74

For 250 crews we need 5 boxes.

Multiplying the price of one box with 5 - (you can round off the values for quick calculation)- see last col.


FroundyesPhillips ~ 70

HpannoPhillips ~60
IroundyesPhillips ~82.5


Only phillips drive that costs less than $65, is not available at factory outlet. so it needs special order.

Solution:

1. Purchase 50 ACME specialty screws with the button head shape and a flat drive type--> Does not require special orders

2. Purchase 50 ACME specialty screws with the pan head shape and the Phillips drive type--> Requires special orders

3. Purchase 250 ACME specialty screws with the Phillips drive type for less than $65----> Requires special orders

As mentioned in the table, that for 50 screws require 1 box so, if we use unitary method for 250 screws require 5 boxes.

Drive type At the factory outlet Price per box
of 50 screws ($) 		Price for 5 boxes
of 250 screws ($)
Phillips Yes16.74 5*16.74= 83.7 \(\approx{ 84}\)
Phillips No 11.98 5* 11.98=59.9 \(\approx{60}\)
Phillips Yes13.89 5* 13.89= 69.45 \(\approx{69.45}\)
So, it's clear from the above table that only one purchase with the Phillips drive type, which is less than $65, requires a special order.
