Use the following information for the next two questions:

In 20x1, OBSTREPEROUS NOISY Mining Corp. acquired the right to use 1,000 acres of land to mine for gold. The lease cost is ₱200,000,000, and the related exploration costs on the property amounted to ₱40,000,000. It is the policy of OBSTREPEROUS Mining Corp. to capitalize all costs of exploration and evaluation of mineral resources. Intangible development costs of drilling, tunnels, shafts, and wells incurred before opening the mine amounted to ₱340,00,000. At the end of the mine’s economic useful life, OBSTREPEROUS Mining Corp. is required by legislation to restore the site. Estimated restoration costs have a fair value of ₱20,000,000. OBSTREPEROUS Mining Corp. estimates that the mine will provide approximately 100,000,000 ounces of gold. Actual ounce of gold mined in 20x2 totaled 300,000 ounces.

3.How much is the depletion charge in 20x2?

4. Assuming that of the 300,000 ounces of gold extracted in 20x2, 280,000 ounces were sold and 20,000 ounces remain in inventory. How much depletion is recognized in the 20x2 (a) statement of financial position and (b) statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, respectively?

Use the following information for the next two questions:

In 20x1, BUCOLIC RURAL Co. acquired land for a total cost of ₱40,000,000 to be used to quarry marble, limestone, and construction aggregates. Costs incurred to obtain legal right to explore the property amounted to ₱8,000,000. Expenditures incurred in the exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources before technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource are demonstrable totaled ₱12,000,000. Intangible development costs of drilling, tunnels, shafts, and wells before the actual production totaled ₱20,000,000. BUCOLIC Co. estimates that total recoverable reserves are 100,000,000 units. Furthermore, BUCOLIC Co. expects to sell the land for ₱4,800,000 after resource is depleted. However, no buyer will pay this price unless the mine is drained, filled and leveled, a process that will cost ₱800,000. It is BUCOLIC’s policy to capitalize all exploration costs.

Actual units quarried in 20x1 through 20x4 totaled 30,000,000 units. On January 1, 20x5, BUCOLIC Co. estimated that the remaining recoverable reserves are only 25,000,000 units and after the reserves are exhausted, the land will be sold for ₱3,200,000. Costs of disposal are estimated at ₱1,200,000. Actual units quarried in 20x5 totaled 6,000,000 units.

5.How much is the depletion charge in 20x5?

6.What is the carrying amount of the wasting asset on December 31, 20x5?
