Problem J:
On January 1, 2021, the Reddick Company purchased a mining right for P30,000,000. The mine's recoverable ore reserves are estimated to be 4,000,000 tons.
Following the extraction of all ore, the company will be obligated by law to return the land to its original state. The present value of the restoration cost is P2,000,000. The company estimated that the property may be sold for P5,000,000. At a cost of P6,000,000, roads were built and other development costs were invested to aid in the extraction and transportation of the mined ore in early 2021. 200,000 tons of ore were extracted and sold in 2021.
A new study conducted by a new mining engineer on December 31, 2022, revealed that 5,000,000 tons of ore were available for mining. 225,000 tons of ore were mined and sold in 2022.
How much depletion expense should be recognized in 2022?
: On May 1, 2022, Hecala Mining entered into an agreement with the state of New Mexico to obtain the rights to operate a mineral mine in New Mexico for $10 million. Additional costs and purchases included the following Development costs in preparing the mine $3,200,000; Mining equipment 140,000 Construction of various structures on site 68,000 After the minerals are removed from the mine, the equipment will be sold for an estimated residual value of $10,000. The structures will be torn down. Geologists estimate that 800,000 tons of ore can be extracted from the mine. After the ore is removed the land will revert back to the state of New Mexico. The contract with the state requires Hecala to restore the land to its original condition after mining operations are completed in approximately four years. Management has provided the following possible outflows for the restoration costs: Cash Outflow Probability $600,000 30% 700,000 30% 800,000 40% Hecala's credit-adjusted risk-free interest…
DMH Industries Limited purchased a strip mine for cash on April 1, 2023 at a cost of $5,787,000. DMH expects to operate the mine
for 10 years, at which it is legally required to restore the surrounding area to its original state. It is estimated that it will cost $477,000
to do this at the end of the mine's useful life. The company's year-end is December 31, and DMH follows ASPE.
(a)
Your Answer Correct Answer
Your answer is correct.
Prepare the journal entry to record the purchase of the mine and to record the asset retirement obligation for the mine on April 1,
2023. Based on the effective interest rate of 5%, the present value of the asset retirement obligation (i.e., its fair value) on the
date of acquisition is $292,837. (Credit account titles are automatically indented when the amount is entered. Do not indent manually.
List all debit entries before credit entries. If no entry is required, select "No Entry" for the account titles and enter O for the amounts.)
