4. Using ABC, compute the total cost per case for each product type if the direct labor and direct materials cost is $10 per case of Extra Fine and $9 per case of Family Style. (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places. Round "Activity Rate" and "Overhead cost per unit" answers to 2 decimal places.)
