Question:

The Slate Mining Company acquired a tract of land for mining purposes and erected a building on-site at a cost of \(\$ 675,000\) and having no salvage value. Though the building has a useful life of 10 years, the mining operations are expected to last only 6 years. The company has determined that 800,000 tons of ore exist on the tract but only 600,000 tons can be economically removed. If 100,000 tons of ore are extracted in the first year of operations, what is the appropriate depreciation charge using the units-of-production method?
