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)

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer: Total Variable Costs = $110130

Explanation:

The question in incomplete. Requirements were not provided in the question, as a result it is not clear what the question requires us to do. We will assume the question requires us to calculate Total variable costs since There is nothing in the question that talks about fixed costs.

Total Variable Costs

Manufacturing costs

Direct Material Per pound = $2.95

Direct Material used  = 27800 pounds

Direct Material Cost = 27800 x 2.95 = $82010

Direct Labor

Direct Labor cost per hour = $6.20

Direct Labor hours = 3800

Direct Labour Cost = 3800 x $6.20 = $23560

Variable Manufacturing overhead cost = $4560

Total Variable Costs = Direct Material cost + Direct labor costs + Variable Manufacturing overhead

Total Variable Costs = $82010 + $23560 + $4560

Total Variable Costs = $110130
