There's something that I'm quite confused. A disparity in prices that doesn't seem to make sense. And I see if in many places.

I've a farm that produces leather. It showcases a price of selling of ie. $3. I sell this leather at $3 to my own Factory that produces Leather Jackets. When I look in the Factory, the buying price for the supplier shows $3. But when I click on the Analysis Mode on the Factory and look at the price of the supplier there is states $9.

This is really affecting my manufacturing cost and I don't know how to fix it. Can somebody clarify why the difference in price of $6 that comes out of thin air?

Thanks

You may want to check the quantity of the input for producing one unit of the output product in the Manufacturer's Guide. That may explain the cost difference.

How do I do what you suggest? Thanks

For example, for sweaters, the number of output units is 3, meaning that we you supply the amount of inputs as indicated on the manufacturer's guide, the factory will produce 3 sweaters.

So the unit cost of inputs for producing one sweater should be 1/3 of that.
