So 2,716 missiles should cost ~$317M. I also don't think you have the cost for the missile launchers right—unless this has been errata'd, SM+4 major batteries cost $100K. (Yes, this breaks the usual rule for pricing SM+4 systems for no apparent reason.)

I think that 16cm missiles weigh 1/10th of a ton, just like 16cm conventional shells, so 2,716 missiles would cost $271.6M plus $135.8M if they possess 25 kiloton warheads, for a total of $407.4M.
