In2016, the Marion Company purchased land containing a mineral minefor $1,640,000. Additional costs of $564,000 were incurred todevelop the mine. Geologists estimated that 600,000 tons of orewould be extracted. After the ore is removed, the land will have aresale value of $104,000.
To aid in the extraction,Marion built various structures and small storage buildings on thesite at a cost of $252,000. These structures have a useful life of10 years. The structures cannot be moved after the ore has beenremoved and will be left at the site. In addition, new equipmentcosting $85,000 was purchased and installed at the site. Mariondoes not plan to move the equipment to another site, but estimatesthat it can be sold at auction for $7,000 after the mining projectis completed.
In 2016, 55,000 tons of ore wereextracted and sold. In 2017, the estimate of total tons of ore inthe mine was revised from 600,000 to 818,000. During 2017, 91,000tons were extracted.
Required:
1. Compute depletion and depreciation of the mine and the miningfacilities and equipment for 2016 and 2017. Marion uses theunits-of-production method to determine depreciation on miningfacilities and equipment. (Round the intermediate calculation to3 decimal places.)
2. Compute the book value of the mineral mine, structures, andequipment as of December 31, 2017. (Round the intermediatecalculation to 3 decimal places.)
