Answer:

  Tk 173.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The firm will break even if its cost is equal to its revenue. That is, the price of each item sold must equal the cost of producing it. To cover the fixed cost, a share of it must be added to each of the items sold. Then the break-even price for 80 items is ...

  price = variable cost + share of fixed cost

  price = Tk 60.75 +9000/80 = Tk 60.75 +112.50 = Tk 173.25
