Check my work On April 2, 2017, Montana Mining Co. pays $3,032,410 for an ore deposit containing 1,427,000 tons. The company instals machinery in the mine costing $196,900, with an estimated seven-year life and no salvage value. The machinery will be abandoned when the ore is completely mined. Montana begins mining on May 1, 2017, and mines and sells 157,900 tons of ore during the remaining eight months of 2017 Prepare the December 31, 2017, entries to record both the ore deposit depletion and the mining machinery depreciation.
