factors in the cost

It has been too long since I visited this site and I intend to be far more regular about my posts and ideas. That said, I am struck by the same discussion I read 2 years ago, the cost of ebooks versus print. I am not in the publishing industry and would ask someone who is truly knowledgeable to break down the cost of a $30 fiction book. Assume it is sold at list. In dollar amount how much to the print cost, distribution, publicity, royalties and other costs I don't know about. I recognize that most books are never sold at list, but this should give a starting point for good discussion.
