Answer #1

Depletion base= $700000

Units expected to be mined= 500000 tons

Depletion rate = Depletion base/ Units expected to be mined

= 700000/500000= $1.4 per ton

Depletion Expense= Depletion rate x Current year Mined

= 80000 x 1.4= 112000

Journal entry to record depletion expense

Dr. Depletion Expense A/C 112000

Cr. Accumulated Depletion A/C 112000
