Impossible.  If you select "per line of code" he'll want to know how 
many lines.  If you select "per form" he'll want to know how many 
forms.  If "per object" he'll want to know what an object is.

I suggest that the best method of computing per unit cost is "per hour 
of development time". He'll certainly know what an hour is.
