If you consider the total cost of the Manhattan Project ($2,000,000,000) and divide that over the 4 atomic bombs built over WW2 (Trinity, Little Boy, Fatman, and one finished about the time Japan surrendered and thus not used); each bomb cost $500 million. However as most of the expenses on the Manhattan Project was for infrastructure (e.g. enrichment plants, reactors, plutonium reprocessing plants) that could be used to make more bombs, actual production and delivery costs for Little Boy was much less: probably well under $1 million.

∙ 12y agoI don't know if you mean size and weight or the cost of the little boy bomb. The atomic bombs cost over 2 Billion Dollars. Divide that by three and you will get the individual cost of the three bombs they built. The real cost was the lives who were ended and the lives which were devastated by the radiation poison and later the Cold war.
