Sierra Mountain Mining paid $$902,000$ for the right to extract mineral assets from a $450,000-$ton deposit. In addition to the purchase price, Sierra also paid a

$$1,200$ filing fee, a $$1,800$ license fee to the state of Nevada, and $$85,000$ for a geological survey of the property. Because Sierra purchased the rights to the

minerals only and did not purchase the land, it expects the asset to have zero residual value. During the first year, Sierra removed and sold $60,000$ tons of the

minerals. Make journal entries to record $($a$)$ purchase of the minerals $($debit Minerals$),($b$)$ payment of fees and other costs, and $($c$)$ depletion for the first year.

$($Record debits first, then credits. Select the explanation on the last line of the journal entry table.$)$

Begin by journalizing $($a$)$ the purchase of the minerals $($debit Mineral asset$).($Do not record payment for any additional costs associated with the minerals. We will

do this in entry b$.)$
