Exercise 8-18 Depletion of natural resources LO P3

Montana Mining Co. pays $4,964,350 for an ore deposit containing 1,551,000 tons. The company installs machinery in the mine costing $241,100, which will be abandoned when the ore is completely mined. Montana mines and sells 162,600 tons of ore during the year. Prepare the year-end entries to record both the ore deposit depletion and the mining machinery depreciation. Mining machinery depreciation should be in proportion to the mines depletion. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to the nearest whole number.)
