Here are a couple.  The first is a presentation with a number
of graphic charts illustrating the savings using Ada

    http://www.adaic.org/docs/present/ajpo/pll-cost/html/

There are further references interspersed through this presentation.

This second one is a study done by Verdix (now Rational) about their
