The company extracted 576,000 tons of natural resources during the year and 540,000 tons were sold during the year. Required a. Determine depletion for the natural resource during the year. Hint: Equipment cost is accounted for separately and its depreciation is recorded as Depreciation Expense. Numerator / Denominator = Depletion Rate $ 6,300,000 5,000,000 Note: Use the depletion rate EXACTLY as shown above to calculate depletion below. Depletion during the year $ 7,257,600 x b. Assuming that the company depreciates the cost of equipment using units-of-production, determine depreciation expense for the year. Depreciation expense for the year $ 25,920 x 1.26 c. Compute cost of goods sold for the year, and ending inventory on December 31 of this year. Cost of goods sold $ Ending inventory s Check ox 0x
