I didn't say that. I said it doesn't have much to do with setting a price for a new product. Mistral's material cost for each engine is probably < $10k. What they've tried to do is decide on a sale price that'll amortize their R&D costs over a reasonable period of time and get them into positive cash flow. Intelligent price setting has little to do with variables like the price of the Euro against the dollar.
