Because it must be cheaper.

Ore deposit depletion and Mining machinery depreciation Journal entries

Dr Depletion charge (Ore deposits) 405,528

Cr Accumulated depreciation 405,528

Dr Depletion charge (Ore deposits) 23,268

Cr Accumulated depreciation 23,268

Explanation:

Preparation of the year-end entries to record both the ore deposit depletion and the mining machinery depreciation of Montana Mining Co

Depletion of natural resources can be defined as the way in which the cost of natural resources is apportioned upto the period when it will be utilized which is why they are shown at cost in balance sheet.

The entry is to record depreciation charged on ore deposit depletion. Therefore To record this entry we have to debit depletion charges, and credit accumulated depreciation

Dr Depletion charge (Ore deposits) 405,528

Cr Accumulated depreciation 405,528

Computation of depletion cost per unit:

The depletion cost per unit can be calculated by dividing the net cost of the ore with the total units of capacity :

Depletion/units = Cost - Salvage/ Total unit of capacity

$3,721,000/1,525,000 tons

=$2.44

Hence, depletion per unit is $2.44.

Computation depletion amount on ore deposit:

The depletion amount on ore deposit can be calculated by multiplying the cost per depletion unit with the number of units utilized:

Depletion =Cost/Unit ×Units Utilized

$2.44×166,200 tones

=$405,528

Hence, depletion expenses on ore deposit amounts to $405,528.

The pass entry to record depreciation charged on mining machine :

Dr Depletion charge (Ore deposits) 23,268

Cr Accumulated depreciation 23,268

Computation of depreciation cost per unit:

The depletion cost per unit can be calculated by dividing the net cost of the ore with the total units of capacity :

Depletion/units = Cost - Salvage/ Total unit of capacity

$213,500/1,525,000 tons

=$0.14

Hence, depreciation per unit is $0.14.

Computation of depreciation amount on ore deposit:

The depletion amount on ore deposit can be calculated by multiplying the cost per depletion unit with the number of units utilized:

Depletion =Cost/Unit ×Units Utilized

$0.14×166,200 tones

=$23,268

Therefore the depreciation expenses on ore deposit amounts to $23,268

Your firm (an Australian firm) makes a sale to a Japanese customer. The sale price is 200 million Japanese Yen payable in exact

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

An Australian Firm Selling to a Japanese Customer

a) Direct Quote of the Exchange Rate between Australian Dollar and Japanese Yen:

A$ 1 = ¥90

Meaning 1 Australian Dollar = 90 Japanese Yen.

Therefore, the price of the goods would be A$ 2,222,222.22222 (¥200 million)/ ¥90

b)Theoretical Current Forward Exchange Rate, quoted in terms of JPY/AUD for delivery in three months:

= Spot Rate x (1 + Japanese Interest Rate) / (1 + Australian Interest Rate) x 360/90

= ¥90 x (1 +0.005) / (1 +0.03) x 360/90 = ¥90 x 1.005/1.03 x 360/90

= ¥351.26214 =A$1

c) The Australian firm can take advantage of any decreases in the exchange rate and also ensure that it receives at least Australian $2 million by entering into a Currency Forwards Contract.

d) If the spot exchange rate in 3 month's time is:

(i) AUD/JPY=150, the outcome of the hedging with a Currency Forwards Contract to get at least A$ 2 million would be the gain of:

Forward Exchange outcome in Australian Dollars = ¥200 million/ ¥150 =

A$ 1,333,333.33333

Hedging outcome minus Forward Exchange outcome

A$2 million - A$ 1,333,333.33333 = A$666,666.66667

(ii) AUD/JPY = 50, the outcome of the hedging with a Currency Forwards Contract to get at least A$ 2 million would be the loss of:

Forward Exchange outcome = in Australian Dollars = ¥200 million/ ¥50 =

A$4 million

Hedging outcome minus Forward Exchange outcome

A$2 million - $4 million = -A$2million

Explanation:

a) Currency forwards contracts and future contracts are used to hedge the currency risk. For example, a company expecting to receive ¥200 million in 90 days, can enter into a forward contract to deliver the ¥200 million and receive equivalent Australian dollars in 90 days at an exchange rate specified today.

b) If A$ 1 = ¥90

Therefore, the price of the goods would be A$ 2,222,222.22222 (¥200 million)/ ¥90 in Australian Dollars.
