    depletion expense 103,560‬

    Explanation:

    The first step, is to calculate the rate per ton

    coal mine 1,001,000

    coal reserve 58,000

    We divide the total coal reserve for the mine cost.

    depletion rate 1.001.000/58.000 = 17,2586 = 17.26

    Then we multiply bythe tons extracted for the period

    depletion for the first year 6,000 tonds x 17.26 per ton = 103,560‬

    This will be the depletion expense for the year.
