Of course it's not going to be the same price. It's a hypothetical. But the reason it's not the same price is that the bigger tablet is inherently more valuable.

Mind you, that is not true in all cases. A laptop carries a premium over a desktop because it is portable. Been that way since the beginning.

It's what the market dictates. My hypothesis is that the consumer who buys the 7" version of any tablet is doing so out of cost-sensitivity, no more, no less.

A 7" tablet will be significantly cheaper because it has less value. The market has already spoken on that.

Price driven costing, not cost driven pricing.
