From the Paper:

"The company intends to sell the promise skin lotion at a fair price upon which all the costs attributed to the production, distribution, promotion, and taxes are recovered. Moreover, the company would associate a twenty five percent profit to the product total cost. This would be in line with the company goals of recovering the product cost and be able to maintain a competitive edge in the market. Moreover, the product would be accompanied by a discount of 5% or fifty grams of the promise skin lotion for customers purchasing more than a dozen packet of product above fifty grams. In addition, loyal customers will be recognized in time and given a distinctive treatment. This could be by giving them free samples or gifts."
