That sounds right for lossless.

The bitrate for a WAV or AIFF file would be 1411kbps.  Lossless versions (FLAC, ALAC) can vary (even per song within an album) but typically would be 500 - 1000kbps.  Lossy files such as mp3 will be 128/256/392 in most cases. Those would all be based on 16 bit files.  Higher resolution (24 bit files etc) would be significantly higher (though I cannot remember the numbers off the top of my head before my first cup of coffee) in the 2400-4800 range.
