Small studios, like those having only a soundcard in their computer, cost less. Recording of a symphony orchestra or an Opera is very expensive. Recording only your voice to a guitar is much cheaper.
"Green House Recording: Studio $20/hour or $50/song". http://www.myspace.com/greenhouserecordingstudio
A music studio can cost between $500-$1,000,000. The factors that determine the cost of the studio are who the studio is built to cater to, what equipment is needed, what software is needed, any other supplies for the building or office, the cost of the physical property, and the profit margin that may offset overall cost. The best way to come up with real numbers is to make a business plan, and to network with other studio owners for advice.
Many people (New Yorkers come to mind) have fully functional recording studios (capable of recording vocals and acoustic instruments, not just tracks made purely digitally) contained in the closet of an apartment. I've recorded full demos on a hotel bed with a laptop. True, this is the extreme on the bare-bones end.
