- Problem 10 The Maria Lovella Mining Company purchased for P13,000,000 mining property estimated to contain 1,000,000 tons of ore. The residual value of the property is P1,000,000. Buildings used in mine operations costs P1,000,000 and have an estimated life of ten years with no residual value. Mine machinery costs P2,000,000 with an estimated residual value of P400,000 after its physical life of 4 years.
