Cornerstone Exercise 7-27 (Algorithmic) Depletion of Natural Resources Brandon Oil Company recently purchased oil and natural gas reserves in a remote part of Alaska for $800,000. Brandon spent $10,000,000 preparing the oil for extraction from the ground, Brandon estimates that 120,000,000 barrels of oil will be extracted from the ground. The land has a residual value of $20,000. During 2019, 15,470,000 barrels are extracted from the ground. Required: Calculate the amount of depletion taken in 2019. (Note: In your calculations, round depletion per barrel to two decimal places.) 1,365,300 x Feedback Check My Work Depletion calculations are similar to the units-of-production method of depreciation
