(Learning Objective 5: Record natural resource assets and depletion) BearcreekMines paid $433,000 for the right to extract ore from a 450,000-ton mineral deposit. In addition to the purchase price, Bearcreek Mines paid a $155 filing fee to the county recorder, a$2,800 license fee to the state of Utah, and $95,045 for a geologic survey. Because the companypurchased the rights to the minerals only, it expects this mineral rights asset to have a residualvalue of zero when it is fully depleted. During the first year of production, Bearcreek Minesremoved 75,000 tons of ore, of which it sold 72,000 tons. Make journal entries to record (a)purchase of the mineral rights, (b) payment of fees and other costs, (c) depletion for first-yearproduction, and (d) cost of the ore sold. Round depletion per unit to the closest cent.

Kelly Company acquired an iron mine for $2,349,000. Kelly paid a $1,000 filing fee with the county recorder, $50,000 license fee to the state, and $100,000 for a geologic survey. It was estimated that the land would have a value of $400,000 after completion of the mining operations, and that 1,000,000 tons of iron ore could be extracted from the mine. During the first year of operations, 100,000 tons of iron ore were extracted and 80,000 tons of iron ore were sold for $5 per ton. How much gross profit is shown on the Income Statement for the current period? What is the amount of depletion to record in the current period?
The Jackson Mining Company paid $1,000,000 for the right to explore for a coal deposit on 500 acres of land in Pennsylvania. Costs of exploring for the coal deposit totaled $800,000 and intangible development costs incurred in digging and erecting the mine shaft were $500,000. In addition, Jackson purchased new excavation equipment for the project at a cost of $600,000. After the coal is removed from the site, the equipment will be sold. Jackson is required by its contract to restore the land to a condition suitable for recreational use after it extracts the coal. The company has provided the following three cash flow possibilities (A, B, and C) for the restoration costs to be paid in three years, after extraction is completed: Cash Outflow A $500,000 B 400,000 C 900,000 The company's credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate is 8% (PV Factor is 0.7938). 2,688,962 O2,790,000 3,390,000 O 3,288,962 Probability 40% 50% 10%

PUP CAF Mining Company purchased a tract of land containing mineral resources for P54,000,000. The purchase contract contained a provision that PUP CAF is required to restore the land suitable for factory use after it has extracted the mineral resource. Geological survey has indicated that 2,400,000 tons of ore could be extracted. The property has an estimated salvage value of P6,000,000 after the ore has been extracted and the land is restored. The estimated cost of restoration and geological survey is P7,200,000 which is the present value at the date of acquisition. Assuming that PUP CAF does not maintain inventories of extracted ores, how much should be charged to depletion expense per ton of extracted mineral ore?

Sierra Mountain Mining paid $607,000 for the right to extract mineral assets from a 350,000-ton deposit. In addition to the purchase price, Sierra also paid a $700 filing fee, a $2,300 license fee to the state of Nevada, and $55,000 for a geological survey of the property.

During the first year, Sierra removed and sold 50,000 tons of minerals. Make journal entries to record (a) purchase of the minerals (debit Minerals), (b) payment of fees and other costs, and (c) depletion for the first year. (Record debits first, then credits. Select the explanation on the last line of the journal entry table.) G Begin by journalizing (a) the purchase of the minerals (debit Mineral asset).

Required information [The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] Last Chance Mine (LCM) purchased a coal deposit for $750,000. It estimated it would extract 12,000 tons of coal from the deposit. LCM mined the coal and sold it, reporting gross receipts of $1 million, $3 million, and $2 million for years 1 through 3, respectively. During years 1–3, LCM reported net income (loss) from the coal deposit activity in the amount of ($20,000), $500,000, and $450,000, respectively. In years 1–3, LCM actually extracted 13,000 tons of coal as follows: (Leave no answer blank. Enter zero if applicable. Enter your answers in dollars and not in millions of dollars.)
