Minor electronic components like surface mount capacitors have tiny prices. I just looked up a model that costs $0.00745.

EDIT: Millage taxes on property are denoted in mills—thousandths. The taxes are often fractional mills, like 2.225. So you need 10^-8 resulution at the least.



I'm guessing those capacitors are sold by the reel, maybe 4,000 to the reel.


Yes.
