A friend has begged our consulting firm several times to build an iPhone app.

We are reluctant to jeopardize the friendship and charge market rates. At the same time, we're so busy it would be imprudent not to charge fairly.

We tried referring her to other shops, but she doesn't feel comfortable with anyone but us.

How do people charge friends? Since I'm asking about fees, I'm also curious to know if people charge on a fixed-price basis or hourly basis?

Thanks!
