E10.23B (LO 3) (Depletion Computations-Minerals) At the beginning of 2025, Allister Com- pany acquired a mine for $990,000. Of this amount, $150,000 was ascribed to the land value and the remaining portion to the minerals in the mine. Surveys conducted by geologists have indicated that approximately 12,000,000 units of ore appear to be in the mine. Allister incurred $190,000 of develop- ment costs associated with this mine prior to any extraction of minerals. It also determined that the fair value of its obligation to prepare the land for an alternative use when all of the mineral has been removed was $50,000. During 2025, 2,400,000 units of ore were extracted and 2,200,000 of these units were sold. Instructions Compute the following. a. The total amount of depletion for 2025. b. The amount that is charged as an expense for 2025 for the cost of the minerals-sold during 2025.

7. Copper Mines, Inc (CMI) . purchased property for the purpose of extracting copper ore. CMl paid $3,500,000 for the property plus $100,000 closing costs. CMl estimates it will be able to extract 800,000 tons of copper ore from the property over the next 10 years. The actual number of tons of copper ore extracted during the next ten years are as follows: 95,000 tons each in years 1,2,3; 80,000 tons each of years 4,5,6&7; and 75,000 tons each of years 8,9,& 10. It is believed that after 10 years the extractable ore will have been removed and the land will be useful for cattle grazing with an estimated value of $200,000. What is the amount of expense related to the ore extraction to be recognized for year 8? a) b) c) d) e) 318,750 330,000 340,000 350,000 360,000
