### Educational Exercise: Calculating Depletion Cost**Scenario:**Sheffield Corp. has invested $8,719,200 in purchasing a mine. This mine is estimated to contain 48,440,000 tons of ore, with no anticipated salvage value after extraction. During the first year of operation, 8,350,000 tons of ore were extracted.**Objective:**Calculate the depletion cost per unit (ton) of ore extracted.**Instructions:**1. **Formula to Use:** \[ \text{Depletion Cost per Unit} = \frac{\text{Total Cost of the Mine}}{\text{Total Estimated Ore Tons}} \]2. **Data Given:** - Total Cost of the Mine: $8,719,200 - Total Estimated Ore Tons: 48,440,000 tons - Ore extracted in the first year: 8,350,000 tons3. **Calculation:** - Substitute the known values into the formula: \[ \text{Depletion Cost per Unit} = \frac{8,719,200}{48,440,000} \]4. **Rounding:** Round your answer to two decimal places (e.g., 0.50).5. **Answer Entry:** - Input your calculated depletion cost in the field provided. - Ensure your final answer is rounded correctly as instructed.**Resources Available:**- Use the "eTextbook and Media" for further reading on depletion methods.- Refer to the "List of Accounts" for accounting terms and definitions relevant to this calculation.**Submission:**- You can save your progress using the "Save for Later" button.- Submit your answer once calculated. Note that you have unlimited attempts.This exercise aims to reinforce understanding of natural resource accounting and cost allocation through practical application.
