 (a) if the quantity of the benefit supplied is equal to a multiple of a pack quantity of the benefit—the sum of the approved ex‑manufacturer price or the proportional ex‑manufacturer price (as applicable) for each pack quantity;
 (b) if the quantity of the benefit supplied is less than a pack quantity of the benefit (a broken quantity)—the amount worked out in accordance with subsection (2);
 (c) if neither paragraph (a) or (b) applies to the quantity of the benefit supplied—the sum of:
 (i) the approved ex‑manufacturer price or the proportional ex‑manufacturer price (as applicable) for each pack quantity; and
 (ii) the amount calculated in accordance with subsection (2) for the remainder of the quantity that is a broken quantity.

Broken quantities
