Yep, those numbers check out. I did some math of my own, and if you need Cogwheels, it's far better to spend your Donuts on speeding up your Elf Cave to generate more Elves. It costs 4 Donuts (assuming there's 4 hours or more to go) to rush it and you get 4 Elves and those Elves (once you have the Cannon Control Building ) have at least a 25% chance of dropping 4 Cogwheels. You'll have to find and capture the Elves (which gets easier once you have the Elf Bottler ) but you get one Elf and at least one Cogwheel per Donut. There is a limit of 40 Elves at a time, if you try to introduce more from the Elf Cave you will get a pop-up message telling you that you're full up, so go around and capture most, if not all of the Elves before you try to introduce some more.
