According to "the military balance", the price of lrip 1 was about $366m each, lrip 2 and 3 were $243-247m each. Not sure if thats the equivalent pricing level that was used here though ... it makes sense that it would still be cheaper.

$5 billion divided by 32 jets equals $156 million each. Clearly, LRIP jets are very expensive. Like 2-3 times the price quoted for full rate production jets. Ouch.
$156M each, isn't the flyaway cost. That includes a lot of other costs as well.
