Answer:

depletion expense 103,560‬

Explanation:

The first step, is to calculate the rate per ton

coal mine 1,001,000

coal reserve 58,000

We divide the total coal reserve for the mine cost.

depletion rate 1.001.000/58.000 = 17,2586 = 17.26

Then we multiply bythe tons extracted for the period

depletion for the first year 6,000 tonds x 17.26 per ton = 103,560‬

This will be the depletion expense for the year.
