Perez company acquires an ore mine at a cost of $2,380,000. it incurs additional costs of $666,400 to access the mine, which is estimated to hold 1,700,000 tons of ore. 215,000 tons of ore are mined and sold the first year. the estimated value of the land after the ore is removed is $340,000. calculate the depletion expense from the information given.

Depletion expense=$342,000

Explanation:

Total cost of purchasing the ore mine;

Total cost=Purchase cost+access cost

where;

Purchase cost=$2,380,000

Access cost=$666,400

replacing;

Total cost=(2,380,000+666,400)=$3,046,400

Net cost=Total cost-estimated value of land

where;

Total cost=$3,046,400

Estimated value of land=$340,000

replacing;

Net cost=3,046,400-340,000=$2,706,400

Depletion expense=Cost per unit×number of units sold

where;

Cost per unit=(2,706,400/1,700,000)=$1.592 per tonne

Number of units sold=215,000 tons

replacing;

Depletion expense=(1.592×215,000)=$342,000

Depletion expense=$342,000

you can lose ranking 2 ways.

1) you don't have enough points due to you expending them by asking questions/your answers are deleted.

2) your brainliest's expired. this means that brainliests, once they exceed the 30 day limit, expires. this is to ensure that you continue to contribute into the community at a constant rank if you want to continue to have/exceed the rank you have right now.

if you go to profile, and click "show more information" located on the bottom left of the box with your information (on top of the questions answered, questions asked, and friends), you will be given the following information (example):

member since : 02/13/2017, 18: 11

questions answered: 9741

questions asked: 162

no. of brainliest answers: 1575

brainliest answers in last 30 days: 10

warnings: 0 view

questions/answers reported: 2637

questions/answers incorrectly reported: 64

look at the "brainliest answers in the last 30 days". this is the one that will affect your rank other than your points. again, once your brainliest expires (was earned 31+ days ago), it will not be counted.

correct, but each time you dont pay the price of the penalty can increase.
