It's about $100 in materials which I already have and 4 hours of labor.

Just at T&M I feel like I'm way too low, which probably means I should change how I'm billing it. :)

So how do you arrive at $1500?  What's the math?

Sounds like at least a $1500 job to me...

I'm curious what some of you guys might charge for running 200' of new cable through a conduit, adding a splice case at both ends of the conduit, and splicing the old cable to the new section.

This is on private property and the existing cable was broken (bent into a hairpin by outside trauma) just outside the conduit. There's not enough sticking out of the pipe to put a splice there, so I have to run a new piece through the conduit.

I guess the scope of work isn't that important though. I'm more interested in how you bill it. I know some people use an hourly rate for installing the cable and then a flat fee per splice. Is there a justification for charging per splice as opposed to charging for T&M? Is it to recoup the cost of the splicer perhaps?
