Coronado Corporation acquires a coal mine at a cost of $448,000. Intangible development costs total $112,000. After extraction has occurred, Coronado must restore the property (estimated fair value of the obligation is $89,600), after which it can be sold for $179,200. Coronado estimates that 4,480 tons of coal can be extracted. If 784 tons are extracted the first year, prepare the journal entry to record depletion.

Dr Depletion expense 66,640

Cr Accumulated depletion 66,640

Explanation:

Coronado Corporation

Journal entry

Dr Depletion expense 66,640

Cr Accumulated depletion 66,640

Total Cost = $448,000+$112,000 =

$ 560,000

Depletion per ton

= ($560,000-$179,200) / 4,480

= 85 per ton

Depletion first year = 784*85 = 66,640
