Depletion

On July 1, 2019, Amplex Company purchased a coal mine for $2 million. The estimated capacity of the mine was 800,000 tons. During 2019, Amplex mines 10,000 tons of coal per month and sells 9,000 tons per month. The selling price is $30 per ton and production costs (excluding depletion and depreciation) are $8 per ton.

At the end of the mine's life, Amplex estimates that the present value of the cost to restore the land is $300,000, after which it can be sold for $100,000. Amplex also purchased some temporary housing for the miners at a cost of $170,000. The housing has an expected life of 10 years but is expected to be sold for $10,000 at the end of the mine's life. The housing is depreciated using the activity method. Amplex uses the FIFO cost flow assumption and its discount rate is 10%.

Required:

  1. Compute the company's expenses included on the 2019 income statement. Round depletion and depreciation rate per ton to the nearest cent. Round your final answer to the nearest dollar.
    Total expenses, 2019 $
    Depletion rate $  per ton
    Depreciation rate $  per ton
  2. Compute the cost of the company's inventory at December 31, 2019. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.

    Cost of inventory, 12/31/2019: $  

  3. In January 2020, a new estimate indicated that the capacity of the mine was only 500,000 tons at that time. Compute the company's expenses included on the 2020 income statement if the company mines and sells 10,000 tons per month. Round the depletion rate to 2 decimal places. Round the depreciation rate to 3 decimal places and round final answer to the nearest dollar.
    Total expenses, 2020 $
    New depletion rate $  per ton
    New depreciation rate (round to three decimal places) $  per ton
