I can understand why a B737 can cost about a 100 million dollars, but I can't understand why a 4-seater Cessna costs as much as 300000 dollars... Can someone shed some light on it?

Very few units over which to amortize everything. I can't recall the exact numbers, but there were years in which (I believe it was) Continental shipped 80,000 small aircraft engines, and a decade or two later, they were down to shipping ~3,000/year.
