If the company paid for a economy ticket and flier paid to upgrade then a new ticket is issued. The original ticket paid by company is simply used as a credit for the new one. They should only be claiming a portion of what is shown if that is the case.

The fares you list are first class fares. If they're claiming the total fare listed is a coach fare, they're lying.
These are what used to be called UP-fares. Basically as noted above in another post, they used to be economy tickets with an instant upgrade to F if the correct F fare class was available. However over two years ago DL did away with the nonsense of calling them economy fares that allow you to sit in F. These are straight up F fares. The fare starts with an economy fare class(K in your case), but the F towards end denote that this is really a First Class fare. Basically these fares require availability of both the economy fare class (K) and the corresponding First fare class (CIDZ). This basically allows DL to tie the price of a First class seat to the availability of the economy cabin
. The higher the fare in economy available, the higher the fare for First. (In most cases anyway)
Note that it can be the case (not frequently) that the available F fare is lower than economy. This is rare due to the way most F fares are setup nowadays. (As I described right above)
