At the beginning of 2018, Terra Lumber Company purchased a timber tract from Boise Cantor for $2,980,000. After the timber is cleared, the land will have a residual value of $740,000. Roads to enable logging operations were constructed and completed on March 30, 2018. The cost of the roads, which have no residual value and no alternative use after the tract is cleared, was $192,000. During 2018, Terra logged 640,000 of the estimated 6.4 million board feet of timber.

Required:

Calculate the 2018 depletion of the timber tract and depreciation of the logging roads assuming the units-of-production method is used for both assets. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

    Depletion of the timber tract $224,000

    Depreciation of the logging roads $19,200

    Explanation:

    Explanation:

    Timber tract:

    $2,980,000 - $740,000 / $6,400,000 board feet

    =$2,240,000/$6,400,000

    =0.35

    =Terra logged 640,000 * 0.35

    =$224,000

    Logging roads:

    $192,000 / $6,400,000 board feet

    =$0.03 per board foot

    =Terra logged 640,000 * 0.03

    $19,200 depreciation

    Therefore Depletion of the timber tract is $224,000 while Depreciation of the logging roads is $19,200
