Last Chance Mine (LCM) purchased a coal deposit for $1,807,800. It estimated it would extract 13,100 tons of coal from the deposit. LCM mined the coal and sold it, reporting gross receipts of $1.10 million, $11.5 million, and $6.6 million for years 1 through 3, respectively. During years 13, LCM reported net income (loss) from the coal deposit activity in the amount of ($16,200), $580,000, and $332,500, respectively. In years 13, LCM extracted 14,100 tons of coal as follows:

(1) Tons of Coal	(2) Basis	Depletion (2)/(1) Rate	Tons Extracted per Year
			Year 1	Year 2	Year 3
13,100	$1,807,800	$138.00	2,600	7,900	3,600

Note: Leave no answer blank. Enter zero if applicable. Enter your answers in dollars and not in millions of dollars.

a. What is LCM's cost depletion for years 1, 2, and 3?

b. What is LCM's percentage depletion for each year (the applicable percentage for coal is 10 percent)?

c. Using the cost and percentage depletion computations from parts (a) and (b), what is LCM's actual depletion expense for each year?
