In 2020 Jones Company spends $6 million drilling oil wells. Seventy percent of the drilling is successful and results in commercial quantities of oil being found. Required: 1. How much drilling expense should the company recognize under: a) successful-efforts method $fill in the blank 1 b) full-cost method $fill in the blank 2 2.

Carrollton Oil and Gas, an independent oil and gas producer, is approved to use a 20% of gross income depletion allowance. The write-off last year was $700,000 on its horizontal directional drilling wells. Determine the estimated total reserves in barrels if the volume pumped last year amounted to 1% of the total and the delivered product price averaged $40 per barrel.

A company runs three oil refineries, R1, R2, and R3. Each Ri produces heating oil (HO), diesel oil (DO), and gasoline (G) and can process at most 43,000 barrels of oil per month. Suppose that one barrel of crude oil produces a certain number of gallons of heating oil, diesel oil, and gasoline in each refinery as shown in the table below. The monthly demand for each product is given in thousands of barrels in the table as well: Refinery | R1 | R2 | R3 | Demand ---|---|---|---|--- HO | 20 | 5 | 15 | 525 DO | 10 | 3 | 8 | 278 G | 10 | 10 | 10 | 430 A) Let xi be the number of barrels (in thousands) of crude oil processed by refinery Ri (i=1,2,3) per month. Find the number of barrels needed to meet the demand. B) The company needs to shut down refinery R3 while continuing to meet the same demand. Make a recommendation to the company about how to adjust the production levels at refinery 1 and 2. Support your recommendation mathematically.
