You are considering purchasing deep-dish caramel apple pies from a local baker. You currently make a very popular deep-dish apple pie but it is labor-intensive and you want to weigh your options. Currently, it costs you $13.45 to make each pie. There is also a $0.21 labor cost per slice for your pie and each of your pies serves 8 slices. The local baker will charge you $75 for 4 pies. Each bakery-made pie serves 12 slices and will cost you $1.36 per pie in labor. Show a cost comparison for each option.
