1) Zinc mine a/c Dr $800,000
Land a/c Dr $50,000
To Cash a/c $850,000
[ Cost of zinc mine = initial cost incurred + additional cost for accessing - estimated value of land after zinc is removed
= 750,000 + 100,000 - 50,000
= $800,000 ]
2) Depletion expense a/c Dr $200,000
To Accumulated Depletion a/c $200,000
[The unit (per ton) depletion charge is $4 (i.e. $800,000 cost / $200,000 capacity).
However only 50,000tonnes were mined this year. Therefore depletion amount will be 50,000 * $4 = $200,000]
