Montana Mining Co. pays $3,721,000 for an ore deposit containing 1,525,000 tons. The company installs machinery in the mine cost

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

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

In 2007, Gillette saw an opportunity to capture the market of 500 million Indians who used double edge razors with no protection

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

Gillette in India

The failure of the Vector was caused by the fact that Indian men have longer and thicker hair, which the lack of earlier research in the targeted demographic segment did not discover.

Explanation:

Since Indian men have longer and thicker hair than the local consumers of Gillette's razor products in America, an earlier research would have uncovered the fact. Thereafter, the discovery would have been incorporated into the design and production of Vector for the Indian market. No wonder, with its Mach 3 Turbo razor, Gillette overcame its initial inertia and handicap and made a success of the razor business in India.
