Accounting

For the last 10 years, Am-Mex Coal has used the cost depletion
factor of $2500 per 100 tons to write off the investment of $35 million
in its Pennsylvania anthracite coal mine. Depletion thus far totals $24.8
million. A new study to appraise mine reserves indicates that no more
than 800,000 tons of salable coal remains. If estimated gross income is
expected to be $8.50 million on a production level of 72,000 tons,
determine next years (a) cost, and (b) percentage depletion amounts.
The percentage depletion allowance is 10%.
