The Michigan Mining Company has acquired a coal mine for a cost of $4,500,000. No other costs are involved. The total coal expected to be extracted from the mine is 35,000 tons. During the year 2018, the total extraction of coal is 5,700 tons. There is no salvage value. Required: Using the above information compute: the depletion rate per tone of coal extracted. The depletion charge of the coal extracted during the year 2018.

Company XYZ operates in the mining industry and extracts a non-renewable resource. The company is eligible for a depletion allowance of 10% on its gross income from the resource extraction. In the current year, the company generated a gross income of $500,000 from the resource. Calculate the depletion allowance for Company XYZ.
I need help in figuring out the step by step procedure, performing the operations and calculations manually, using formulas. One year ago, your company purchased a machine used in manufacturing for $110,000. The current machine is expected to produce EBITDA of $20,000 per year. The current machine is being depreciated on a straight-line basis over a useful life of 11 years, after which it will have no salvage value, so depreciation expense for the current machine is $10,000 per year. The market value today of the current machine is $50,000. You have learned that a new machine is available that offers many advantages; you can purchase it for $150,000 today. It will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over 10 years, after which it has no salvage value. You expect that the new machine will produce EBITDA (earning before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) of $40,000 per year for the next 10 years. All other expenses of the two machines are identical.Your company’s tax…

An asset is purchased for P 9,000.00. Its estimated economic life is 10 years after which it will be sold for P 1,000.00. Find the depreciation in the first three years using sum of the years digit method.
A company considers introducing a new newspaper. Its direct competitor charges $0.25 at retail. The fixed cost charges to be $350,000 per month. The variable cost is $0.08 per copy, but advertising revenues of $0.05 per paper will be generated. To print the morning paper, the publisher has to purchase a new printing press, which will cost $620,000. The press machine will be depreciated according to a seven-year MACRS class. The press machine will be used for 10 years, at which time its salvage value would be about $100,000. Assume 365 issues per year, a 27% tax rate, and a 13% MARR. How many copies per day must be sold to break even at a retail selling price of $0.20 per paper?
A granary has two options for a conveyor used in the manufacture of grain for transporting, filling, or emptying. One conveyor can be purchased and installed for $70,000 with $3,000 salvage value after 16 years. The other can be purchased and installed for $110,000 with $4,000 salvage value after 16 years. Operation and maintenance for each is expected to be $18,000 and $14,000 per year, respectively. The granary uses MACRS-GDS depreciation, has a income-tax rate of 25%, and a MARR of 9% after taxes. Use MACRS-GDS(10) with 50% bonus depreciation.
