Miller Mining, a calendar-year corporation, purchased the rights to a copper mine on July 1, Year 1. Of the total purchase price

, $2.8 million was appropriately allocable to the copper. Estimated reserves were 800,000 tons of copper. Miller expects to extract and sell 10,000 tons of copper per month. Production began immediately. The selling price is $25 per ton. Miller uses percentage depletion (15%) for tax purposes. To aid production, Miller also purchased some new equipment on July 1, Year 1. The equipment cost $76,000 and had an estimated useful life of 8 years. After all the copper is removed from this mine, however, the equipment will be of no use to Miller and will be sold for an estimated $4,000. If sales and production conform to expectations, what is Miller’s depreciation expense on the new equipment for financial accounting purposes for the Year 1 calendar year?
a. $10,800
b. $5,400
c. $9,000

Answer:

d. $4,500

Explanation:

The computation of depreciation expense on the new equipment is shown below:-

For computing the depreciation expense on the new equipment first we need to find out the Depreciation per annum which is here below:-

Depreciation per annum = (Cost - Residual value) ÷ Life

= ($76,000 - $4,000) ÷ 8

= $72,000 ÷ 8

= $9,000

Depreciation for 1 year calendar (July 1 to Dec 31) = Depreciation per annum × 6 months ÷ Total number of months in a year

= $9,000 × 6 ÷ 12

= $4,500

So, the depreciation expenses for the year end up-to 31st Dec is $4,500

leonid [27]

Answer: c. $1.994

Explanation:

Cost per Equivalent Unit of Production (EUP) for Conversion = Total Conversion costs/ EUP

Total Conversion cost

= Conversion cost for beginning work in process inventory + Conversion cost incurred in the month

= 7,840 + 203,300

= $211,140

EUP = Units completed + Percentage of ending Units completed with regards to conversion

= 92,900 + (90% * 14,450)

= 105,905 units

Cost per Equivalent Unit of Production (EUP) for Conversion = 211,140 / 105,905

= $1.9936

= $1.994

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

Prime cost = $94,000

<em>Conversion cost</em> =  $135,400.

Explanation:

<em>Prime cost is the addition of direct material cost , direct labor cost and direct expenses.</em>

<em>Conversion cost is the cost of converting raw materials into finished product. It s the sum of direct labour cost and production overheads.</em>

For Bento Engineering,

<em>Prime cost = direct labour cost  (since no figure is given for direct material and direct expenses.)</em>

Prime cost = $94,000

Conversion cost = Direct labour cost + overheads

<em>Conversion cost</em> = $94,000 + 126,000

                          =  $135,400.

Prime cost = $94,000

<em>Conversion cost</em> =  $135,400.
