On April 23, 2021, Phillip Mining entered into an agreement with the state of California to obtain the rights to operate a mineral mine in California for $12 million. Additional costs and purchases included the following: Preparation of site for excavation $ 4,800,000 Mining equipment 360,000 Construction of various structures on site 240,000 8After the minerals are removed from the mine, the equipment will be sold for an estimated residual value of $60,000. The structures will be torn down. The mine is expected to produce 1,400,000 tons of ore. After the ore is removed, the land will revert back to the state of California. During 2021, Philips extracted 210,000 tons of ore from the mine. What total amount would be charged to depletion of the mine and depreciation of the mining equipment and structures for 2021, assuming that Phillip uses the units-of-production method for both depletion and depreciation?…

At the beginning of 2024, Terra Lumber Company purchased a timber tract from Boise Cantor for $3,730,000. After the timber is cleared, the land will have a residual value of $760,000. Roads to enable logging operations were constructed and completed on March 30, 2024. The cost of the roads, which have no residual value and no alternative use after the tract is cleared, was $297,000. During 2024, Terra logged 660,000 of the estimated 6.6 million board feet of timber. Required: Calculate the 2024 depletion of the timber tract and depreciation of the logging roads, assuming the units-of-production method is used for both assets. Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter values in whole dollars. Depletion of the timber tract Depreciation of the logging roads
The Platinum Touch Mining Company paid $4,000,000 for a parcel of land, including the mining rights. In addition, the company spent $564,700 to prepare the site for mining operations. When mining is completed, it is estimated that the residual value of the asset will be $800,000. Scientists estimate that the site contains 150,000 ounces of platinum. A. What is the average depletion cost per ounce? B. If 12,200 ounces were mined in the first year of operation, what is the amount of the depletion cost?
On January 1,2015, GOGO Company purchased land with valuable natural ore deposits for $20,000,000. At that time, the estimated recoverable output from the mine is $4,000,000 metric tons of ore after which the land is expected to have residual value of $3,000,000. To facilitate the extraction and transportation of the ore, roads were constructed amounting to $1,500,000. In 2015, 2,000,000 metric tons were mined. At the end of 2016, a new estimate of remaining recoverable ore indicated 2,500,000 metric tons are available. During 2016, 1,500,000 metric tons were mined. How much is the depletion expense for the year 2016?
In 2021, the Marion Company purchased land containing a mineral mine for $1,800,000. Additional costs of $920,000 were incurred to develop the mine. Geologists estimated that 400,000 tons of ore would be extracted. After the ore is removed, the land will have a resale value of $120,000. To aid in the extraction, Marion built various structures and small storage buildings on the site at a cost of $208,000. These structures have a useful life of 10 years. The structures cannot be moved after the ore has been removed and will be left at the site. In addition, new equipment costing $109,000 was purchased and installed at the site. Marion does not plan to move the equipment to another site, but estimates that it can be sold at auction for $5,000 after the mining project is completed. In 2021, 70,000 tons of ore were extracted and sold. In 2022, the estimate of total tons of ore in the mine was revised from 400,000 to 499,000. During 2022, 109,000 tons were extracted. Required: 1.
