Evert Company makes two types of circuit boards. One is a high-caliber board designed to accomplish the most demanding tasks; the other is a low-caliber board designed to provide limited service at an affordable price.

(b) batch-level activities,
(c) product-level activities,
(d) facility-level activities.
