Assume an ore deposit contains 2,000,000 tons, costs $24,000,000, and has $0 residual value. In year one 125,000 tons are mined and in year two 175,000 tons are mined. Calculate the depletion rate in step 1. Then, calculate the DEPLETION EXPENSE for year 1 and 2 in step 2. Estimated Depletion Rate (Cost - Residual Value) Total Units $ - $0) Actual DEPLETION ACCUM.
