Question 1: Determine the depreciation expense and the cost of timber sold related to depletion for 2011. (Round the final answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 5,125.)

Question 2: Blue has not logged since 2011. If Blue logged and sold 1,098,000 board feet of timber in 2019, when the timber cruise (appraiser) estimated 6,100,000 board feet, determine the cost of timber sold related to depletion for 2022. (Round intermediate calculations to 5 decimal places, e.g. 1.54687 and final answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 5,125.)
