Calculation of All source Finding & development costs for Big Oil Co.
| All source relevant F&D expenses | |
| Expense head | Amount (in millions) | 
| exploration | $850 | 
| development expenses | $900 | 
| proved property acquisitions | $250 | 
| Interest payments | $75 | 
Total relevant expenses = $2075 millions
BOE is barrels of oil equivalent per day as per conversion rate of natural gas given. Here One BOE is equal to 6 units of gas So, the conversion table is as follows:-
| Head | Oil reserve (barrels in millions) | Gas reserve | BOE | Total BOE including oil barrrels | 
| Discoveries and extensions | 105 | 165 | 27.5 | 10,50,00,027.50 | 
| revisions | 5 | 5 | 0.833333 | 50,00,000.83 | 
| Acquisitions | 10 | 30 | 5 | 1,00,00,005.00 | 
| Total | 12,00,00,033.33 | |||
| BOE = Gas reserve/6 | ||||
| Total BOE = BOE + Oil reserve barrels | ||||
All Source F&D costs = total relevant F&D expenses /BOE as calculated
= $2075 million /120 million BOE
= $17 million per unit of barrel of oil
