While materially it doesn't cost much to produce a music CD - there's more to it than what you put forth. There's the royalty the songwriter expects, the copyright holder of the song. Then each member of the band needs to be compensated as well as the lead vocalist. The manager, record label company, distributor, wholesaler, retailer and associated shipping companies. The advertising agencies like to get paid too.
However, I still think that $10 is sufficient - however this is a free market economy - they can and will charge whatever the market will bear.
