Depletion: It refers to the process of proportionately distributing the cost of the extracting natural resources such as coal, mines, and petroleum from the earth to the number of units extracted. The following is the formula to calculate the depletion expense:
To record: the
To record: the journal entry for the additional cost related to oil and gas properties.
