lannery Company engages in the exploration and development of many types of natural resources. In the last two years, the company has engaged in the following activities: January 1, Year 1 Purchased for $210,000 a silver mine estimated to contain 821,000 tons of silver ore. July 1, Year 1 Purchased for $1,860,000 cash a tract of land containing timber estimated to yield 3,040,000 board feet of lumber. At the time of purchase, the land had an appraised of $100,000. February 1, Year 2 Purchased for $789,000 a gold mine estimated to yield 31,700 tons of gold-veined ore. September 1, Year 2 Purchased oil reserves for $708,000. The reserves were estimated to contain 261,000 barrels of oil, of which 22,000 would be unprofitable to pump. Required Prepare the journal entries to account for the following items. Assume all purchase transactions were made with cash. (1) The Year 1 purchases. (2) Depletion on the Year 1 purchases, assuming that 67,000 tons of silver were mined and 1,046,000 board feet of lumber were cut. (3) The Year 2 purchases. (4) Depletion on the four natural resource assets, assuming that 63,000 tons of silver ore, 1,205,000 board feet of lumber, 8,700 tons of gold ore, and 84,000 barrels of oil were extracted. Prepare the portion of the December 31, Year 2, balance sheet that reports natural resources. Assume that in Year 3 the estimates changed to reflect only 59,200 tons of gold ore remaining. Prepare the depletion journal entry in Year 3 to account for the extraction of 41,440 tons of gold ore. Prepare the journal entries to account for the following items. Assume all purchase transactions were made with cash. (1) The Year 1 purchases.

Expert Solution

Step 1 Given

In this question, we are using the cost method of depletion.

$Depletion = (Cost of natural resource - Salvage value) / Estimated total capacity$
