A mining corporation bought land for $330,000 with a residual value of $22,000. The land is estimated to yield 660,000 pounds of a removable natural resource. The amounts of natural resources extracted in 2020 and 2021 were 77,000 pounds and 99,000 pounds, respectively.

Determine the depletion for 2020 and 2021.

Answer :

Answer:

35933

$46,200

Explanation:

Depletion = amount of pounds extracted x depletion factor

depletion factor = (cost of asset - salvage value) / estimated yield

(330,000 - 22,000) / 660,00 = 0.467

2021 = 0.467 x 99,000 = $46,200
