please solve B first 1. Consolidated Minerals (CM) owns the rights to extract minerals from beach sands onFraser Island. CM has costs in three areas:-Payment to a mining subcontractor who charges $80 per ton of beach sand mined andreturned to the beach (after being processed on the mainland to extract three minerals:ilmenite, rutile, and zircon).-Payment of a government mining and environmental tax of $50 per ton of beach sand mined.Payment to a barge operator. This operator charges $150,000 per month to transport eachbatch of beach sand-up to 100 tons per batch per day-to the mainland and then return toFraser Island (that is, 0 to 100 tons per day $150,000 per month; 101 to 200 tons per day=$300,000permonth and so on).Each barge operates 25 days per month. The $150,000 monthly charge must be paid even iffewer than 100 tons are transported on any day and even if CM requires fewer than 25 days ofbarge transportation in that month. CM is currently mining 180 tons of beach sands per dayfor 25 days per month.a. What is the variable cost per ton of beach sand mined? What is the fixed cost to CM permonth?b. Plot a graph of the variable costs and another graph of the fixed costs of CM.c. What is the unit cost per ton of beach sand mined (a) if 180 tons are mined each day and(b) if 220 tons are mined each day? Explain the difference in the unit-cost figures.

Sunset Mountain Mining paid $362,300 for the right to extract mineral assets from a 350,000-ton deposit. In addition to the purchase price, Sunset also paid a $300 filing fee, a $2,400 license fee to the state of Nevada, and $55,000 for a geological survey of the property. Because Sunset purchased the rights to the minerals only and did not purchase the land, it expects the asset to have zero residual value. During the first year, Sunset removed and sold 40,000 tons of the minerals. Make journal entries to record (a) purchase of the minerals (debit Minerals), (b) payment of fees and other costs, and (c) depletion for the first year. (Record debits first, then credits. Select the explanation on the last line of the journal entry table.)
