Where in the manual is this topic discussed?

From various threads in the forums I have gleaned:

Repair

A. You need 20,000 supply points in a hex for repair to take place??? Is this fact or myth?

B. You repair 1 point per facility per day at the cost of 1,000 supply points per point repaired??? Is this fact or myth?

I can find nothing in the manual that deals specifically with the issue of Industry / Oil / Resource repair.

Expansion

A. Manual: 1 Manpower + 1 Heavy industry + 100 Supply points per point expanded
B. FAQ: 10 Manpower + 10 Heavy Industry + 1000 Supply points per point expanded

Which is correct? [EDIT:] Froma test I just ran it would appear the manual is correct.

I find the 1000 supply points for one point of repair unfair for the Japanese player. A couple of hundred maybe...
In my game against AI as Japan, I occupied Batavia and the resource facility is at (600)x0. Let's say it's January 1, 1942. If I repair a point a day it will cost me 600,000 supplies to completely repair it, and this will happen on August 24, 1943. Let's say the game goes on until VJ, September 2, 1945. By that time, Batavia would have produced only 624,000 supply points and that many resources. Supposing I will have the ships to move these supplies and resources, is it worthy to sunk supplies in repairing Batavia? I did not check if I have enough resources for my HI without Batavia, Soerabaja (same situation) and Palembang (with about half damaged) but I feel that putting that much supplies, of which I'm quite short, in repairing is not a good strategy. Maybe some more experienced players could shed some light?

This is a DAMN good reason why japan should be VERY carefull when going after production centers, BOMB them, SHELL them, BOMBARD them, and continue doing this for 2 weeks in order to knock out as much engineers as possible. ONLY then make an dilliberate attack and hope for the best.........
