    Depletion expense is $16,800,000

    Explanation:

    2018 depletion expense=total oil reserves cost*quantity removed/total reserves

    total oil reserves cost is $252,000,000

    quantity removed in 2018 12,000,000 barrels

    total oil reserves is 180,000,000 barrels

    2018 depletion expense = $252,000,0000*12,000,0000/180,000,000

    =$16,800,000

    The depletion expense to charge against revenue in 2018 in order to arrive at net income is $16,800,000
