           Sales Revenue                     $

To record the sale of 45,000 tons of ore

Explanation:

a) Depletion is an accrual accounting technique.  It allocates the cost of extracting natural resources such as timber, minerals, and oil from the earth by using the percentage of extracted resources over the total resources.  Depletion is a non-cash expense, like depreciation and amortization, that lowers the cost value of an asset incrementally through scheduled charges to the income statement.  While depletion is for natural resources, depreciation is for property, plant, and equipment, while amortization is used for intangible assets.

b) The total cost to be capitalized = $506,250 ($435,000 + $71,250)

c) Depletion charge for the first year = $101,250 (45,000/225,000 * $506,250).  Depletion per unit is $2.25

d) The selling price was not indicated, so no sales value was calculated.

e) Ending Inventory = $6,750 (48,000 - 45,000 * $2.25)

All $27,000 in debt should be classified as current liabilities. Since the current liabilities section of the balance sheet encompasses obligations that are due to be fulfilled in the near term, and includes amounts relating to accounts payable, incomes, utilities, taxes, short-term loans, and so forth.  Current liabilities are debts that are due to be compensated within one year or the operating cycle, whichever is longer.

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

See Explanation section

Explanation:

We know,

Profit = Sales - Expenses

To find the total seminar profit, we have to determine the number of newly opened accounts. As it is binomial distribution, we have to make an equation to reach out the seminar profit -

Therefore, the profit equation = (new opened account × Sales commission) - Fixed seminar costs

Since we do not know how many attended open account, the profit equation of seminar = (New open account × $5,300) - $3,700
