Your answer is incorrect.

Blue has not logged since 2016. If Blue logged and sold 1,098,000 board feet of timber in 2027, when the timber cruise (appraiser) estimated 6,100,000 board feet, determine the cost of timber sold related to depletion for 2027. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round final answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 5,125.)
