Pottery ranch inc. has been manufacturing its own finials for its curtain rods. the company is currently operating at 100% of capacity, and variable manufacturing overhead is charged to production at the rate of 54% of direct labor cost. the direct materials and direct labor cost per unit to make a pair of finials are $3.92 and $4.64, respectively. normal production is 26,000 curtain rods per year. a supplier offers to make a pair of finials at a price of $13.30 per unit. if pottery ranch accepts the supplier’s offer, all variable manufacturing costs will be eliminated, but the $46,700 of fixed manufacturing overhead currently being charged to the finials will have to be absorbed by other products. (a) prepare an incremental analysis to decide if pottery ranch should buy the finials.

6. why the aggregate supply curve slopes upward in the short run in the short run, the quantity of output that firms supply can deviate from the natural level of output if the actual price level in the economy deviates from the expected price level. several theories explain how this might happen. for example, the misperceptions theory asserts that changes in the price level can temporarily mislead firms about what is happening to their output prices. consider a soybean farmer who expects a price level of 100 in the coming year. if the actual price level turns out to be 90, soybean prices will , and if the farmer mistakenly assumes that the price of soybeans declined relative to other prices of goods and services, she will respond by the quantity of soybeans supplied. if other producers in this economy mistake changes in the price level for changes in their relative prices, the unexpected decrease in the price level causes the quantity of output supplied to the natural level of output in the short run.
