Need help with creating a column with multiple criteria

I want to create a new coulmn that shows freight costs by using two precentages (10% and 5%) based on cost per unit. 

This new column will be based on three coulmns:
Category (1,2,3)
Document type (A,B,C)
Cost per unit (Values)

I want that all the rows in this column should show only Document type "A".
After that I need the new column to show that Cost per unit is multiplied by 10%(0,1) if its Category 1 and 2. If its Category 3 I want Cost per unit to be multiplied by 5%(0,05).

Something like this:

CategoryDocument typeCost per unitNew Column (Freight)
1A101
3A1005
3B10-
2A10010
1C10-
1B10-
2A101
3A100050
3C10-


Cant figure out how to write this formula, so I appreciate any help!

Hi @Anonymous 

Create this calculated column:

New column =
IF (
    Table1[Document Type] = "A",
    IF (
        Table1[Category] IN { 1, 2 },
        0.1 * Table1[Cost per unit],
        IF ( Table1[Category] = 3, 0.05 * Table1[Cost per unit] )
    )
)
