A company acquires a natural resource for​ $1,200,000 and spends another​ $520,000 on development of the site and​ $370,000 for a nonmovable tangible asset installed at the site and​ $150,000 for tangible movable equipment. Both assets have an expected useful life of 10 years. The natural resource is expected to yield​ 200,000 units over its expected life. In year​ 1, 10,000 units are extracted from the resource. What is the depletion expense for year​ 1? (Round any intermediary calculations to the nearest​ cent, and round your final answer to the nearest​ dollar.) A. ​$86,000 B. ​$104,500 C. ​$60,000 D. ​$112,000

The monthly demand equation for an electric utility company is estimated to be p equals 60 minus left parenthesis 10 superscript negative 5 baseline right parenthesis x, where p is measured in dollars and x is measured in thousands of killowatt-hours. the utility has fixed costs of $3 comma 000 comma 000 per month and variable costs of $32 per 1000 kilowatt-hours of electricity generated, so the cost function is upper c left parenthesis x right parenthesis equals 3 times 10 superscript 6 baseline plus 32 x. (a) find the value of x and the corresponding price for 1000 kilowatt-hours that maximize the utility's profit. (b) suppose that the rising fuel costs increase the utility's variable costs from $32 to $38, so its new cost function is upper c 1 left parenthesis x right parenthesis equals 3 times 10 superscript 6 baseline plus 38 x. should the utility pass all this increase of $6 per thousand kilowatt-hours on to the consumers?
