Its good to see indigenous manufacturing, this shows how matured the industry at large.
Congrats China

Some points in the comments of the OP for corrections

1. C919 is not the first home-made commercial jet


ARJ 21 is.
Hereunder you can find plenty of materials on the ARJ 21 project:

ARJ21 completed all necessary flight test cert to fly in China
ARJ-21 completes global flight & natural icing test (pending for final certification)

2. C919 is a narrow body plane which is comparable to A320 and B737 in sizes
3. Many supporting parts are foreign made
4. C919 will not be entering into "service" this or next year but it is slated for trial flight and numerous stringent tests under the CAAC and US-FAA certification rules

Apart from the fuselage, wings and tailplane nearly everything else is imported. The Chinese will need 5-10 years to make the plane fully indigenous.

There is no surprise
Check out Boeing, Airbus, Embraer and Bombardier
They also have a lot of parts and systems made overseas
China is a new comer in the business. Only a handful of countries in the world can build a commercial jet of similar sizes from scratch albeit with the help from foreign parts and systems
Yes, China has stomped into this elite club

How much per plane?

depends on how many you will make, for the time being, the comfirmed order is 278 for ARJ, and 490 for C919,

and you should notice, China is socialism country, the Comac is commerical company but supported by whole nation if you can read its capital structure and its loan obtaining, China don't fear the failure, China fear she don't have such ability.

Certainly, when we can make it, we will make it very efficiently just as we have done with CRH.
