A comment on NASA will pay $146M for each SLS rocket engine. Parent comment
4x RS-25: 520M
2x SRB: 200M
ICPS: 150M (EUS will be more)
Core Stage: (not sure) 30M+ given how long they work on it
Orion Capsule: 900M
That is all without ground infrastructure or people working at NASA. Given that it will probably not launch more then once a year. 100s of M extra.
In comparison, a SpaceX Raptor internal cost is 1-2M, Merlin less then 1M. The sale price of the BO BE-4 is 8M.
