I am new using the downtime system and wanted to understand the calculations.
How much time would it take to make these Slow Burn Arrows?
I assume that the cost to buy of 150gp is 150gp per arrow.
It seems that skill also factors into the time, so please also assume a craft (alchemy) skill of 10, and a craft(bow) skill of 10 and that we 'take 10' on the check(s).
Slow Burn Arrow
Cost: 150gp
Behind the head of this arrow is a small receptacle of alchemical material that heats up when exposed to air and eventually bursts into flame; barbs on the arrowhead pierce the pouch when it hits a target.
Benefit: On your turn, 1 round after impact, the burst of flame deals 1d6 points of fire damage to the target.
Drawback: The extra weight of this arrowhead gives you a –1 penalty on attack rolls with the arrow.

In addition to what you gave we need the craft DC for the slow burn arrow. The DC multiplied with the craft result gives you the worth in silver you can craft in one week.
1.Find the item's price in silver pieces (1 gp = 10 sp).
2.Find the item's DC from Table: Craft Skills.
3.Pay 1/3 of the item's price for the raw material cost.
4.Make an appropriate Craft check representing one week's worth of work. If the check succeeds, multiply your check result by the DC. If the result × the DC equals the price of the item in sp, then you have completed the item. (If the result × the DC equals double or triple the price of the item in silver pieces, then you've completed the task in one-half or one-third of the time. Other multiples of the DC reduce the time in the same manner.) If the result × the DC doesn't equal the price, then it represents the progress you've made this week. Record the result and make a new Craft check for the next week. Each week, you make more progress until your total reaches the price of the item in silver pieces.
1 Price: 1500 sp
2 DC let's assume 20 or your skill + take 10 would not be enough.3 irrelevant
4 Your craft check would be 20.
20*20=400 so you would need 3,75 weeks to craft one slow burn arrow.

Hmmm. It seems strange to me that it would take ~3.75 weeks to craft one 150gp arrow when compared to the Craft Wondrous Item feat. That feat allows you to craft a 2k item in two days.
Anyway, thanks for your help.
The craft DC of 20 was just a guess.
If it was 25 and you'd manage to get a 25 on your craft check you would only need 2.4 weeks to get one done.
On the other hand you would not be able to take 10 with a skill of +10
