rear wheel spoke install is 35.
tire install with wheel off bike 10.
wheel on bike 15
frame up build is 200(too cheap IMO, should be like 300)
brake adjust 25
derailer adjust(includes hanger alignment) 25
Prices will vary by markets and location.
A good rule of thumb is that shop time is usually $1.00 a minute but most shops have set rates to set an average price for a given job since estimating is very difficult when you might not be doing the job yourself.
Anyways...
Changing out a spoke takes a few minutes but involves more than this as the wheel will need to be checked and trued so half an hour is a good amount of time to set aside for a job like this.
