Cameron Company purchased a mine on January 1, 2018, for $533,000, which is estimated to contain 30,000 tons of iron ore. There is no residual value. The business extracted and sold 13,500 tons of ore in 2018 and 13,800 tons of ore in 2019. What is the depletion expense for 2019?(Round any intermediate calculations to two decimal places, and your final answer to the nearest dollar.)
A) $239,895
B) $485,121
C) $245,226
D) $47,979
C) $245,226
Explanation: Depletion per unit = (Cost - Residual value) / Estimated total units
Depletion per unit = ($533,000 - $0) / 30,000 tons = $17.77 per ton
Depletion expense = Depletion per unit × Number of units extracted
Depletion expense for year 2019 = $17.77 × 13,800 tons = $245,226

Samuel signed a contract to purchase furniture on credit. The contract clearly set forth in bold print all charges included in the cost of the credit, including the interest rate and annual percentage rate. The seller informed Samuel that the seller
regularly sold these contracts to a finance company that paid it immediate cash and then collected from the debtors. The seller further advised that the finance company did not want "the headache" of determining the validity of consumer complaints and that therefore the contract provided that the consumer waived all defenses concerning the furniture against the finance company. The contract expressly provided that the seller would remain responsible for any non-conformities in the furniture or breaches of contract on its part. The furniture was defective, but the finance company is demanding that Samuel make the payments to it required by the contract and resolve its disputes with the seller of the furniture. Samuel consults you regarding his rights. What is your response?
