Required:

1. Determine the amount at which Hecala will record the mine. 2. Calculate the depletion of the mine and the depreciation of the mining facilities and equipment for 2018, assuming that Hecala uses the units-of-production method for both depreciation and depletion. 3. How much accretion expense will the company record in its income statement for the 2018 fiscal year? 4. Are depletion of the mine and depreciation of the mining facilities and equipment reported as separate expenses in the income statement? 5. During 2019, Hecala changed its estimate of the total amount of ore originally in the mine from 720,000 to 920,000 tons. Calculate the depletion of the mine and depreciation of the mining facilities and equipment for 2019 assuming Hecala extracted 142,000 tons of ore in 2019.

The structures will be torn down. Geologists estimate that 720,000 tons of ore can be extracted from the mine. After the ore is removed the land will revert back to the state of New Mexico. The contract with the state requires Hecala to restore the land to its original condition after mining operations are completed in approximately four years.
