That depends on how much programming experience you have.  And what you want the app to do.  An information App isn't that difficult, and can be done using javascript/HTML and maybe PhoneGap.

Wildly different depending on what the clients' expectation was.  It is very much a "you get what you pay for: "  You can probably get something for $5000, but for something really polished you could be spending above $100,000.  For example, the port of the Twitter client (twitterific, I think) cost about $250,000, and that was using some existing code.

Sometimes, going with a mobile optimized website is the better bet.
