          「上記費用{じょうきひよう}は1人あたりのものですか?」




          In this sentence, 「もの」 is used in order to avoid repeating the word 「費用」 because it would sound fairly awkward to use 「費用」 twice in such a short sentence.




          "Are the expenses above per person?"




          Likewise, I am sure it would sound clumsy if I said in English:



          "Are the expenses above the expenses for one person?"
