Preliminary price estimation for the voltmeter's analog front end

Here is a preliminary price estimation for the analog front end of the digital voltmeter.
The BOM includes only the most expensive and important parts, but not :
- The micro controller. 
- The power supply.
- Mechanical parts like banana terminals or case. 
- Passive components except the matched resistors for the voltage divider.

The price are for single quantities, without taxes and shipping taken from www.digikey.com site.

MMBT3904NPN transistors30.48
Total price, without tax and shipping68.9

Additional cost should be added for the PCB. If all components can fit in the 50mm x 50mm PCB, it will cost ~10-12 USD for 4 layer PCB with ENIG finish.
