Required information For the last 10 years, Am-Mex Coal has used the cost depletion factor of $2,500 per 100 tons to write off the investment of $38 million in its Pennsylvania anthracite coal mine. Depletion thus far totals $24.8 million. A new study to appraise mine reserves indicates that no more than 910,000 tons of salable coal remains. The estimated gross income is expected to be $8.8 million on a production level of 72,000 tons. NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part. Determine next year's depletion amount. The percentage depletion allowance is 10%. (Enter your answer in dollars and not in millions.)

Flint Tooling Company is considering replacing a machine that has been used in its factory for two years. Relevant data associated with the operations of the old machine and the new machine, neither of which has any estimated residual value, are as follows: Old Machine Cost of machine, eight year life $40,000 Annual depreciation (straight line) 5,000 Annual manufacturing costs, excluding depreciation 12,400 Annual nonmanufacturing operating expenses 2,900 Annual revenue 35,400 Current estimated selling price of the machine 13,900 New Machine Cost of machines, six year life $59,000 Annual depreciation (straight line) 9,500 Estimated annual manufacturing cost, less depreciation 3,900 Annual nonmanufacturing operating expenses and revenue are not expected to be affected by purchase of the new machine. Prepare a differential analysis as of November 8 comparing operations using the present machine (Alternative 1)…
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.
12. On July 23 of the current year, Dakota Mining Company pays $7,398,720 for land estimated to contain 8,808,000 tons of recoverable ore. It installs and pays for machinery costing $968,880 on July 25. The company removes and sells 451,000 tons of ore during its first five months of operations ending on December 31. Depreciation of the machinery is in proportion to the mine's depletion as the machinery will be abandoned after the ore is mined. Required:Prepare entries to record the following.(a) The purchase of the land.(b) The cost and installation of machinery.(c) The first five months' depletion assuming the land has a net salvage value of zero after the ore is mined.(d) The first five months' depreciation on the machinery.
Intella Manufacturing, Inc. has only one plant asset used in production. The asset had a cost of $535,000 and has been depreciated for 2 full years since the date of acquisition. This accounting resulted in a total accumulated depreciation of $220,000. The firm expects the asset to be productive for an additional 3 years and projects the asset's future cash flows to be $132,000 per year. Information about the company's products indicates that the asset might be impaired. Should the firm record an impairment loss for the current year? (Provide supporting computations.) First, calculate the carrying value of the asset using the table below. Less: Carrying value of asset Part 2 Next, conduct an impairment test for the asset using the table below. Step 1: Asset Impairment indicated
Ten investors invested an amount of P 75 million each for coal mining at Sierra Madre Mountain. It is expected that the mine contains 5, 000, 000 tons of coal ores and due to latest technology, it can mine 125, 000 tons of unprocessed ores. The management expects an annual expenses of P 35 million, an annual miscellaneous expenses of P 12 million and milling, drilling and other procedural expenses yearly costs P 815 per ton of unprocessed ores of coal. After such process, 85% of the coal ores produces an income of P 1, 750 per ton. a) Find the annual depletion cost of the mine. b) Ten years after operation, the management annual expenses decreases an amount of P 4 million, annual miscellaneous expenses becomes P13 million and procedural expenses becomes P 920 per ton of unprocessed ores. After procedural process, 75% of unprocessed ores produces an income of P 1, 850 per ton. What would then be its average depletion cost annually for the remaining years of the mine?
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.
Quillen Company is performing a post-audit of a project completed one year ago. The initial estimates were that the project would cost $217,000, would have a useful life of 9 years, zero salvage value, and would result in net annual cash flows of $43,300 per year. Now that the investment has been in operation for 1 year, revised figures indicate that it actually cost $226,000, will have a total useful life of 11 years (including the year just completed), and will produce net annual cash flows of $37,100 per year. Click here to view PV table. Evaluate the success of the project. Assume a discount rate of 12%. (If the net present value is negative, use either a negative sign preceding the number eg -45 or parentheses eg (45). Round present value answers to O decimal places, e.g. 125. For calculation purposes, use 5 decimal places as displayed in the factor table provided.) Original estimate net present value Revised estimate net present value $ The project $ a success.
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?
A coal mine contains approximately 900,000 tons of this material. The mine cost $13' 500, 000 million. The extraction during 2021, the first year of operations, was 120,000 tons. a) How much is the depletion in 2021? b) Suppose that in 2022 100,000 tons were extracted, what would be the net book value? c) Make the table of the depreciation calculation by the method that corresponds and is adequate to solve this exercise. Could you explain step by step and in detail?, please
Sergei Company purchases land for $4,000,000 from which it expects to extract 2,000,000 tons of coal. The estimated residual value is $400,000, and it mines 80,000 tons of coal in the first year. The unit depletion rate used to determine yearly depletion will be 1. S1.80 per ton. 2. $2.00 per ton. 3. $18.00 per ton. 4. $20.00 per ton.
E10-10 On July 1, 2002, Phillips Inc. invested $480,000 in a mine estimated to have 800,000 tonnes of ore. At the end of production at the mine, the company estimates it will have to spend $150,000 to restore the site to an environmentally acceptable condition. The property will then be sold for $90,000. During the last six months of 2002, 100,000 tonnes of ore were mined and sold. Instructions (a) Prepare the journal entry to record the amortization expense. (b) Assume that 100,000 tonnes of ore were mined but only 80,000 were sold. How much amortiza- tion expense is recorded in 2002? How are the costs applied to the 20,000 unsold tonnes?
