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 65% of direct labor cost. The direct materials and direct labor cost per unit to make a pair of finials are $4 and $5, respectively. Normal production is 29,700 curtain rods per year. A supplier offers to make a pair of finials at a price of $13.05 per unit. If Pottery Ranch accepts the supplier’s offer, all variable manufacturing costs will be eliminated, but the $43,000 of fixed manufacturing overhead currently being charged to the finials will have to be absorbed by other products

Question

I asked the questions and someone send me, "Hi and thanks for your question! Unfortunately, per our honor code, graded questions cannot be answered. We've credited a question back to your account. Apologies for the inconvenience." This isn't a test. This is my how and I have three tried so I don't think so that the honor code is against students getting bad grade on their homework. Please help me understand what I did wrong in the question below. 

Thanks!
