The cost of unsweetened cocoa depends on the amount, brand, and store. In general is can cost $4-$7 a pound for unsweetened cocoa.
Substitution for 1 ounce (30 grams) unsweetened chocolate: 3 tablespoons (18 grams) unsweetened natural cocoa powder plus 1 tablespoon (17 grams) unsalted butter or shortening
3 level tablespoons of cocoa powder plus 1 tablespoon of butter or shortening equals 1 square cube of unsweetened baking chocolate.
Unsweetened cocoa powder is about fifteen to twenty five calories per tablespoon.
As much as a pack of skitles and a hersheys.
Actually, none. Chocolate powder (whether cocoa powder or drinking chocolate) is not a good substitute for chocolate, because both powders have had the cocoa butter removed. Cocoa butter is a key ingredient in chocolate (it gives chocolate the melting at body temperature quality, which is pretty much the basis of chocolate) - it is a fat, so it adds moistness and enhances the crumbly texture of cakes. Since chocolate powder contains no cocoa butter, the end result (if it is used as a replacement) is that of a very dry and slightly bitter cake.

Not much at all. An entire chocolate bar has about as much caffeine as a decaf cup of coffee. There's no added caffeine in hot cocoa mixes (at least for common varieties) and much less chocolate than a bar. It's probably extremely low.
the cocoa beans were like the currency for the aztecs.
The amount of cocoa in a chocolate sandwich cookie varies by recipe. The only way to know for sure how much cocoa in is a specific cookie is to have the recipe.
