Depletion
On January 2, 2016, Spring Company purchased land for $470,000, from which it is estimated that 360,000 tons of ore could be extracted. It estimates that the present value of the cost necessary to restore the land is $67,000, after which it could be sold for $22,000.
During 2016, Spring mined 79,000 tons and sold 59,000 tons. During 2017, Spring mined 99,000 tons and sold 109,000 tons. At the beginning of 2018, Spring spent an additional $110,000, which increased the reserves by 62,000 tons. In 2018, Spring mined 129,000 tons and sold 109,000 tons. Spring uses a FIFO cost flow assumption.

Of this amount, $100,000 was ascribed to the land value and the remaining portion to the minerals in the mine. Surveys conducted by geologists have indicated that approximately 12,000,000 units of ore appear to be in the mine. Aristotle incurred$170,000 of development costs associated with this mine prior to any extraction of minerals. It also determined that the fair value of its obligation to prepare the land for an alternative use when all of the mineral has been removed was $40,000. During 2017, 2,500,000 units of ore were extracted and 2,100,000 of these units were sold.InstructionsCompute the following.(a) The total amount of depletion for 2017.(b) The amount that is charged as an expense for 2017 for the cost of the minerals sold during 2017.arrow_forward
