Problem J:
On January 1, 2021, the Reddick Company purchased a mining right for P30,000,000. The mine's recoverable ore reserves are estimated to be 4,000,000 tons.
Following the extraction of all ore, the company will be obligated by law to return the land to its original state. The present value of the restoration cost is P2,000,000. The company estimated that the property may be sold for P5,000,000. At a cost of P6,000,000, roads were built and other development costs were invested to aid in the extraction and transportation of the mined ore in early 2021. 200,000 tons of ore were extracted and sold in 2021.
A new study conducted by a new mining engineer on December 31, 2022, revealed that 5,000,000 tons of ore were available for mining. 225,000 tons of ore were mined and sold in 2022.
How much depletion expense should be recognized in 2022?
