EXERCISE 9.11 Depletion of Natural Resources L LO9-7
Salter Mining Company purchased the Northern Tier Mine for $21 million cash. The mine was estimated to contain 2.5 million tons of ore
and to have a residual value of $1 million.
During the first year of mining operations at the Northern Tier Mine, 50,000 tons of ore were mined, of which 40,000 tons were sold.
a. Prepare a journal entry to record depletion during the year.
b. Show how the Northern Tier Mine, and its accumulated depletion, would appear in Salter Mining Company's balance sheet after the first
year of operations.
c. Will the entire amount of depletion computed in part a be deducted from revenue in the determination of income for the year? Explain.
d. Indicate how the journal entry in part a affects the company's current ratio (its current assets divided by its current liabilities). Do you

Heavy Equipment Purchase price, $275,000. Expected to be used for 10 years, with a residual value at the end of that time of $50,000. Expenditures required to recondition the equipment and prepare it for use, $75,000. Patent Purchase price, $75,000. Expected to be used for five years, with no value at the end of that time. Rothchild depreciates heavy equipment by the declining-balance method at 150 percent of the straight-line rate. It amortizes intangible assets by the straight-line method. At the end of two years, because of changes in Rothchild's core business, it sold the patent to another company for $35,000. Instructions a.
