    B. Depletion will be $950,000 during 2018

    Explanation:

    Cost $10,000,000

    Residual Value ($500,000)

    Cost to be depleted $9,500,000

    No. of Carats to be extracted over the life of mine 500,000

    Per carat depletion (9,500,000/500,000) $19

    Depletion for the year 2018 $19*50,000=$950,000

    This will be deducted from revenue as depletion for the year. So option B is correct.
