Answer:
A. $737,520
B. $530,320
Explanation:
a. Computation for the total amount of depletion for 2020.
First step is to calculate the Depletion Rate
Depletion Rate = ($3,251,600 - $124,000 + $49,600 + $210,800)/12,100,000
Depletion Rate= $3,388,000/ 12,100,000
Depletion Rate= 0.28
Now let calculate the total amount of depletion for 2020.
2020 Total amount of depletion= 0.28 × $2,634,000
2020 Total amount of depletion= $737,520
Therefore the total amount of depletion for 2020 is $737,520
B. Computation for the amount that is charged as an expense for 2014 for the cost of the minerals sold during 2020.
Expense amount charged= ($737,520/$2,634,000)* 1,894,000
Expense amount charged=0.28 *1,894,000
Expense amount charged=$530,320
Therefore the amount that is charged as an expense for 2014 for the cost of the minerals sold during 2020 is $530,320
