How much does it cost to execute a Death Row inmate?

I know what it costs to house a death row inmate, which is roughly the same as a regular one, which is around 20 grand, but what does it cost to physically kill him. How much does it cost to ride the lightning, breathe in the gas chamber, be injected with lethal liquids, be hanged, or be shot down by a firing squad?
Need I emphasize the PHYSICALLY part. I specifically said that I already know all of the appeals. What is the cost to PHYSICALLY end his life?

relatively inexpensive, but you’re forgetting the most expensive part: prosecuting him every time he appeals. It costs millions to kill a death row inmate.
