Exactly!

Quite true! A number of years ago there was a bunch of noise in the press about a $200 screw driver. This screwdriver was part of a tool kit that contained everything from basic hand tools to a sophisticated electronic test set that was quite expensive. The "investigative" reporter came up with the $200 dollar screwdriver by taking the price of the tool kit and dividing it by the number of items in it! Using this method, the electronic test set also cost $200, which was a huge bargain!
