This thread is starting to make my head hurt a bit.
For our production, it worked out about $35,000 for author wages, $10,000 for editing, proof, artwork, website, media and typesetting; then we were ready for letting the world get at it. Using a POD service we make about $5/book, and the ebook is also $5 (well, 4.99). Of course, these are very cheap figures because it's a two-person team and we just sub-contracted out various jobs.
I must say, the big upside of eBooks is that you can send them off at whim to reviewers and it has no real cost, unlike a printed book which incurs freight above and beyond the printing cost.
