Galapagos has it right, the Canada program price includes the development, purchase price, all spares, training and total life cycle cost for 20 years. It is a very good price, millions less than the EH-101 price (for the same payload range and mission performance!)
And frankly, Ned is also right, the Marines bought exactly what they asked for, but they got what Bell could build, which is one hell of a lot less. The original empty weight of the Bell proposal was 12,000 lbs less than the V-22 finally ended up weighing. If the original promise had been kept (if pigs had wings) the V-22 would have been a very fine rotorcraft, instead of a flying embarassment.
Sultan is quite challenged in English and math these days. Probably went to the same school as the guys who wrote the
PR releases for the V-22 (Twice as far, twice as fast....). You know which school, the one that the little special school bus goes to.....
Here is for sultan:
