There's a shuttle bus that meets each arriving flight, and takes about 1 hour 15 minutes to reach Paris Porte Maillot. It costs €13 (just over £10) each way. Porte Maillot is at the very end of Metro Line 1, so you will have to take a Metro from there into the centre of town (another 30 minutes or so).

The shuttle leaves Beauvais 20 minutes after the flight arrives. The flight from PIK arrives at 09:10 and the bus departs at 09:30. If you miss that bus there's one 5 minutes later for a flight from Sweden but then there isn't another one until 14:30.

Or you can take a taxi to Beauvais station (€11) and an RER train from there to Gare du Nord.

A taxi into the city costs about €120.

The return bus departs Paris Porte Maillot at 19:50, arriving at Beauvais at 21:05 for the 22:50 flight to Prestwick. You're going to have to leave the centre of the city by about 7 to be certain of getting that bus.

So... in addition to your fare you're looking at an additional £20 each on bus fares and a 2-hour transfer to and from Paris. Welcome to Ryanair.
