In 2013, the Marion Company purchased land containing a mineralmine for $1,900,000. Additional costs of $753,000 were incurred todevelop the mine. Geologists estimated that 460,000 tons of orewould be extracted. After the ore is removed, the land will have aresale value of $100,000.
To aid in the extraction, Marion built various structures andsmall storage buildings on the site at a cost of $186,300. Thesestructures have a useful life of 10 years. The structures cannot bemoved after the ore has been removed and will be left at the site.In addition, new equipment costing $86,800 was purchased andinstalled at the site. Marion does not plan to move the equipmentto another site, but estimates that it can be sold at auction for$4,000 after the mining project is completed.
In 2013, 56,000 tons of ore were extracted and sold. In 2014,the estimate of total tons of ore in the mine was revised from460,000 to 547,500. During 2014, 86,000 tons were extracted, ofwhich 66,000 tons were sold.
