Question. Fitzgerald Oil and Gas incurred costs of $8.25 million for the acquisition and development of a natural gas deposit. The company expects to extract 3 million cubic feet of natural gas during a four-year period. Natural gas extracted during years 1 and 2 were 700,000 and 800,000 cubic feet, respectively. What was the depletion for year 1 and year 2?

At the beginning of Year 1, Ithaca Incorporated purchased land for $1,500,000 from which it expects to extract 800,000 tons of minerals. The estimated residual value is $250,000. What is Ithaca's unit depletion rate? Round your answer to two decimal places.
DEPRECIATION (Deprec): Dunedin Drilling Company recently acquired a new machine at a cost of $350,000. The machine has an estimated useful life of four years or 100,000 hours, and a salvage value of $30,000. This machine will be used 30,000 hours during Year 1, 20,000 hours in Year 2, 40,000 hours in Year 3, and 10,000 hours in Year 4. Worksheet: The problem thus far has assumed that assets are depreciated a full year in the year acquired. Normally, depreciation begins in the month acquired. For example, an asset acquired at the beginning of April is depreciated for only nine months in the year of acquisition. Modify the DEPREC2 worksheet to include the month of acquisition as an additional item of input. To demonstrate proper handing of this factor on the depreciation schedule, modify the formulas for the first two years. Some of the formulas may not actually need to be revised. Do not modify the formulas for Year 3 through Year 8 and ignore the numbers shown in those years. Some…
Last Chance Mine (LCM) purchased a coal deposit for $1,654,350. It estimated it would extract 13,450 tons of coal from the deposit. LCM mined the coal and sold it, reporting gross receipts of $1.35 million, $6.25 million, and $5.2 million for years 1 through 3, respectively. During years 1–3, LCM reported net income (loss) from the coal deposit activity in the amount of ($16,400), $705,000, and $577,500, respectively. In years 1–3, LCM extracted 14,450 tons of coal as follows: (1) Tons of Coal (2) Basis Depletion (2)/(1) Rate Tons Extracted per Year Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 13,450 $1,654,350 $123.00 2,550 7,450 4,450 b. What is LCM's percentage depletion for each year (the applicable percentage for coal is 10 percent)?
Natural Resources SE7. Walden Green Company purchased land containing an estimated 4,000,000 tons of ore for $16,000,000. The land will be worth $2,400,000 without the ore after 8 years of active mining. Although the equipment needed for the mining will have a useful life of 20 years, it is not expected to be usable and will have no value after the mining on this site is complete. Compute the depletion charge per ton and the amount of deple- tion expense for the first year of operation, assuming that 600,000 tons of ore are mined and sold. Also, compute the first-year depreciation on the mining equipment using the production method, assuming a cost of $19,200,000 with no residual value.
It was projected that a coal mine purchased 3 years ago for $7 million would hold 4,000,000 tons of coal. The volume of coal extracted has been 21,000, 18,000, and 20,000 tons, respectively, over the past 3 years. For the first year, the gross profits earned in those three years was $257,000, for the second year, $320,000, and for the third year, $340,000. Determine (a) each year's expense depletion allowance and (b) the percentage of the purchase price depleted to date.
