Chapter 8: reporting and interpreting property, plant, and equipment; intangibles; and natural resources. Acquisition and depletion of natural resources: wasting assets: include natural resources that are depleted physically used up assets.

Total cost of the natural resource is the cost of acquisition, exploration, and development: as a natural resource is used up, its acquisition cost must be depleted. Only when the inventory is sold does the company record an expense as cost of goods sold: process of calculating depletion: Calculate depletion expense by determining the unit depletion rate for the natural resource.
