    It would be impossible to answer your question without seeing the job.

    The first thing you need to do is to get in contact with a registered electrical contractor and get them to come out and give you a quote.

    You say the wires were cut. I wouldn't imagine they are live as that would be extremely irresponsible of the person who cut them but it wouldn't be a bad idea to check if they are or not.

    As above, this work can only be carried out by a registered electrical contractor.

    The cost will depend on many factors, some of the main factors are:

    1) How far the shed is from the house.

    2) How large the load is electrically. A larger load requires a larger more expensive cable. So think about what you want supplied. If the load is small it may be possible to extend an existing circuit which could be more cost effective.

    3) Ease at which the cable can be installed. If the cable has to be buried this may make installation more difficult and most likely a more expensive armored cable will be required. If the shed shares a wall with the house it may be a much more straightforward install.
