Described below are certain transactions of the Bell Company for 2020. Bell uses a perpetual inventory system.

A. June 10, the company purchased the rights to natural resources on land owned by Jay Company for $60,000. Bells geology team believes they can successfully remove 600,000 pounds of ore from the mine.

1. July 1, the company purchased a machine for $70,000 from Myers Company, paying $20,000 in cash and giving a two-year, 8% interest bearing note for the balance to Myers. The machine is to be used to facilitate the mining of the ore deposit on Jay Companys land. The machine will become an integral part of the mine and will be abandoned when the ore deposit is fully depleted.

2. Bell has agreed to pay Jay Company a royalty of $2.00 per pound of ore removed.

3. Bell must also recover the land to a useful purpose when the mining efforts are completed. This is expected to cost $20,000. Because Bell did not buy the land there is no cost recovery when the mine is abandoned.
