Conveniently, the retail price includes the direct expenditures on energy to make and transport the item to the store.
I recall the electricity rate being around 0.08 USD/kWh around here a while back, so 1000h of 100W consumption would cost $8. I don't remember exactly what 100W plain light bulbs cost, but it certainly was a lot less than that.
