Question referring to combo box and radio button to change equation

Hi;

I am porting a PDF form i have into Infopath and i have stumbles upon a problem. My original form had a spreadsheet like page which had lines for each of around 20 items. Each line had a field the user would input the quantity of that item and 2 other fields which would calculate sale price and dealer price. This was done with a simple java-script equation for the sale price, but there was also a combo box to select pricing from 2 different zones which changed the dealer price. This was the same as the other java-script code except it included an extra if...then snippet.

I have set up my form in Infopath to use a repeating table with a combo box to select the item type and fields for the quantity and 2 prices. I also have a radio button for the 2 zones. My problem now is that i cannot figure out how to incorporate them easily like i did in Acrobat. I cannot figure out how to add any sort of code and the only workaround i figured out is by adding rules to the quantity field. however that requires 2 sets of 2 rules for each entry in the combo box.'

I read something about using an xml data source, but i am new to this and the book i was able to find on Infopath is insanely huge and cumbersome to use. Any suggestions/help? If needed, i can upload (or email) a copy of the form for review.
