Determining an hourly rate is a reasonable way of comparing COPs with work-for-hire writers. That's all Jim is saying (I think).
So for your freelancer, you work out your total earnings, (words * word rate) how long it takes you to write and reasearch your words, any con attendance and other expenses and divide A by B. Likewise, for a COP, you add up your net margin after publishing costs and other expenses and divide by the time you take.
