    So, out of curiosity, how did you
    arrive at that figure? X number of
    people at average salary Y, pieces of
    equipment A, B, and C costing total
    Z, et cetera, or is that just a
    ballpark guess? (If it's the latter,
    you might have more luck getting the
    funds if you could turn it into the
    former.)
