Answer: $160,000

Explanation:

First calculate the Depletion rate per ton which is;

= ( Cost - residual value) / Capacity in tons

= (960,000 - 0) / 240,000

= $4 per ton

In first year, 40,000 tons were used. Amount of depletion is therefore;

= 40,000 * 4

= $160,000

The amount of depletion for the first year did by the company in purchasing the mineral assets were as below :

And will do Cost less the residual value and divide by capacity :

= 960000 - 0 / 240000

In the first year the company acquired 40,000 extract .

= 40,000 x 4
