Other information: Assume XYZ excludes all possible costs from the amortization base. Also ignore asset retirement costs, including future asset retirement costs. Proved undeveloped reserves, as noted above, are 200,000 bbls, and future development costs related to those proved undeveloped reserves are estimated to be $225,000.
Required: From the data (1) prepare journal entries, including a revenue entry, for XYZ; where appropriate, key the journal entry to the letter in left column, and (2) prepare a single-step income statement for XYZ for 2018. Assume no income taxes and provide your answers in whole dollars (i.e., round to the nearest dollar). Where appropriate, use accounts payable, accounts receivable or cash, as the offsetting portion of the journal entries. Where meaningful, show your computations. Prepare you response in an Excel worksheet and upload the file.
* - entries may be combined (i.e., it is not necessary to show an entry for each lease)
# - Reserves, production, costs and revenue provided are for the total well. XYZ owns a 100% working interest in each lease. Each lease is burdened by a 3/16 royalty interest held by the respective land owners.
