Alberta-based ACME used a depletion factor of $ 2,500 per 100 tonnes to fully recoup the $ 35 million investment it made in its coal mine that produces premium sodded lean metallurgical coal. For the steel sector, Depletion depreciation deduction has so far totaled 24.8 million. A new study to assess mining reserves indicates that only 800,000 tonnes of salable coal remain. What is the new exhaustion factor that applies following this new study?

A- Less than $ 1000 per 100 tons.

B- Between $1,000 per 100 tonnes and $ 1,100 per 100 tonnes.

C- Between $ 1,100 per 100 tonnes and $ 1,200 per 100 tonnes.

D- Between $ 1,200 per 100 tonnes and $ 1,300 per 100 tonnes.

E- More than $ 1300 per 100 tons
