Answer:
=$5,230,000
Explanation:
Annual Depreciation=Depreciable Value×Units produced during the year estimated total production
The units of the depreciation method start by calculating the depreciable amount.
Depreciable amount = Assets cost - salvage value
=$21,220,000.-$4,000,000
=$17,220,000
depreciation expense per unit= depreciable amount/production capacity
=$17,220,000/210,000 per tone
=$82 per tone
During the year, 195,000 were extracted.
The depreciation value for the year will be
= 82 x 195,000
=$15,990,000
book value will be asset cost minus depreciation expense
=$21,220,000 -$15,990,000
=$5,230,000
.
