Problem 11-6

Bramble Logging and Lumber Company owns 2,900 acres of timberland on the north side of Mount Leno, which was purchased in 2005 at a cost of $560 per acre. In 2017, Bramble began selectively logging this timber tract. In May 2017, Mount Leno erupted, burying the timberland of Bramble under a foot of ash. All of the timber on the Bramble tract was downed. In addition, the logging roads, built at a cost of $153,200, were destroyed, as well as the logging equipment, with a net book value of $290,600. At the time of the eruption, Bramble had logged 20% of the estimated 489,800 board feet of timber. Prior to the eruption, Bramble estimated the land to have a value of $210 per acre after the timber was harvested. Bramble includes the logging roads in the depletion base. Bramble estimates it will take 3 years to salvage the downed timber at a cost of $688,000. The timber can be sold for pulp wood at an estimated price of $3 per board foot. The value of the land is unknown, but must be considered nominal due to future uncertainties.

Determine the depletion cost per board foot for the timber harvested prior to the eruption of Mount Leno. (Round per unit answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 0.45.) Depletion cost per board foot LINK TO TEXT Prepare the journal entry to record the depletion prior to the eruption. (If no entry is required, select "No entry" for the account titles and enter O for the amounts.
