A company purchased mining property for $4,875,000 containing an estimated 15,000,000 tons of ore. In Year 1, it mined 689,000 tons of ore and in Year 2, it mined 935,000 tons. Calculate the depletion expense for Year 1 and Year 2 and determine the book value of the property at the end of Year 2.$4,875,000/15,000,000 tons = $0.325 per tonYear 1: 689,000 tons * $0.325 per ton = $223,925Year 2: 935,000 tons * $0.325 per ton = $303,875
What will be an ideal response?
| Mining property | $4,875,000 |
| Accumulated depletion ($223,925 + $303,875) | 527,800 |
| Book value at end of Year 2 | $4,347,200 |
