Default Breakdown of costs (Film vs Digital)

Can someone give me information on the usual or average costs of using film compared to digital?

eg: 4R printing = $0.35 per piece w/o handling costs etc.

How about film?

One 36 roll = $?
Developing Fee = $?
4R, 1 piece =$?

etc?

Thanks!

Entry DSLR - $xxxx (4 digit)
Entry SLR- $xxx (3 digit)

How often do you shoot?
Do you like to use the computer to work on your images?
How much is your time worth to enjoy photography?

Different people have different answers to the above.

The charges I incurred recently from both Film and digital prints:

Digital:
$0.30/4R with no minimum quantity and handling charge

Film:
$3/roll for developing only
$0.30/4R for printing when developing or reprinting with no minimum quantity and handling charge
$3/roll for scanning into CD (CD provided) at 4R based resolution.

Above done at KT at Hong Lim Complex.

Slides:
$4.80/roll for developing only without mounting at RGB
$1/4R for printing at Color Lab at Adelphi

Costs of films and slides differ but ranges from $3+ to $9+.
