Sequoia $($S Corporation$)$ purchased the rights to cut timber on several tracts of land over a $15-$year period. It paid $$500,000$ for cutting rights. A timber engineer estimates that $250,000$ board feet of timber will be cut. During the current year, Sequoia cut $45,000$ board feet of timber, which it sold for $$900,000.$
