For $20 million, Ross Adams Mining acquired a tract of land containing a large deposit of anthracite coal. Ross Adams believes t

he most economical way to extract the coal is to stripmine the site. The company is required by environmental regulations to restore the land after it has extracted the coal to a condition suitable for recreational use and—given the intended mining method—estimates restoration costs to be $6 million. Ross Adams’s mining engineers estimate that the site contains 4 million tons of recoverable coal and that it will take approximately four years to complete mining activities. Once restored, the estimated value of the land amounts to $1 million. Ross Adams Mining’s credit-adjusted risk free interest rate is 7%. Required: What should be the depletion rate per ton of coal extracted from this mine? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.

Answer:

$6.25 per ton of coal

Explanation:

the depletion base = purchase cost + restoration costs

  • purchase cost = $20 million
  • restoration costs = $6 million

depletion base = $26,000,000

depletion rate per ton of coal = (depletion base - salvage value) / estimated reserves = ($26,000,000 - $1,000,000) / 4,000,000 = $6.25 per ton of coal

The depletion rate follows the same concepts as depreciation of fixed assets, but instead of using a fixed asset, you are extracting materials and decreasing the value of the deposits.

What do inflation rates measure?
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

C. The speed with which general prices are rising

Explanation:

Inflation measures the rate at which the general prices of goods and services are increasing in an economy. During inflation, the purchasing power of a country's currency is eroded.  Inflation means a selected basket of goods will cost more this period than it did in the previous season.

The consumer price index or CPI is the most acceptable index used in determining the rate of inflation. Inflation may result from high economic growth where firms and individuals have increased incomes resulting in too much money in circulation.  A moderate level of inflation is required to promote spending and sustain favorable economic growth.
