There are no standard pricing tags for project-composition. If your client is wealthy you may try to ask a bit more, if you client lives on the street your price tag goes down. If you're good, the price goes up, if you're bad then the tag goes down. If the project is easy (few instruments, ambient, simple melody/arrangement, standard beats) the price could go down (or at least your client will insist on such), if the project requires a full-scale 1-hour orchestration for over 30 instruments and traditional counterpoint, the price goes up. If there is a royalty structure, the production-fee may go down, if there's no royalty structure, the production fee goes up. If what you do is comparable to 1838243 other composers the price goes down, if there's just you and no alternative, the price goes up.
It's like selling cows on the cattle market: there's the farmer, there's the buyer, they negotiate about the price and shake hands. If they could make up a price according to the book then the farmer wouldn't need to go through all the trouble to bring his cattle to the market.. :P
