The company first determined the fixed costs, which include a lease, property tax, and salaries. They sum up to ₹1,00,000. The variable cost linked with manufacturing one pen is ₹2 per unit. So, the pen is sold at a premium price of ₹10. Therefore, to determine the break-even point of Company X, the premium pen will be: Break-even point = Fixed cost/Price per cost – Variable cost = ₹1,00,000/(₹12 – ₹2) = 1,oo,000/10 = 10,000 Therefore, given the variable costs, fixed costs, and selling price of the pen, company X would need to sell 10,000 units of pens to break-even.
