He plans to allow 25% discount to wholesaler and retailer. The estimated fixed cost would be Rs.75,000 and the variable cost per unit comes to Rs.5. i) it has been asked to find out the break-even point for each type of pen and also to fin out the number of pens to be sold by the manufacturer in order to make a profit of Rs.25,000
