The article is quite cursory.
The range is so broad ( 89 cents to nearly 5 bucks?) that it's hard to imagine what's in those values.
89 cents is raw material cost? $2 covers that and all overhead, direct & indirect? $5 covers everything, including R&D? Is the $5 cost or theoretical sales price?
The only thing I know for sure us that raw material costs are not $5. Everything else is based on how the accounting was done.
