Just multiply those hours by his operating costs and it will be obvious.
I don't see where 1 paid kit and $1500 bucks extra covers the R&D required and keeps the doors open. In case someone doesn't realize this project "maybe" covers rent and electric for one month... It's a sideline project while the money making work continues. Someone want to send them a 10 grand expedition fee? I'm sure they could then negotiate a satisfactory deadline.
