The price depends on the market not the operating cost. For example,
in the US, on one particularly large consumer Internet provider, the
price for a static IP address works out to US$7/_month_.

I used the yearly charge and did not take capital and operational
costs into account. An ISP could show that the running costs
requires setting the "cost" of an IPv4 address to USD 100.00. That
would push the customer to use NAT instead of globally unicast IPv4
addresses which is against the intent of the guidelines to
discourage abusive NAT usage.
The table below gives a rough approximate "cost" of an IPv4 address
in some countries:
U.S.A. USD 5.00
Canada USD 5.00
U.K. USD 10.00
Switzerland USD 12.00
Australia USD 3.00
