Daley Co. owns a mineral deposit with an estimated 600,000 tons of available ore. It was purchased for $300,000 and has no salvage value. During the current period, Daley mined and sold 40,000 tons of ore. Depletion expense for the period will be how much?

$300,000/600,000 x 40,000=20,000

Tops Co. purchases equipment for $12,000 and has been using straight-line depreciation, estimating a 5-year life and $500 salvage value. At the beginning of the third year, Tops decides to use the equipment for a total of 6-years with no salvage value. Compute the revised depreciation for the third year.

(12,000-500)/5=2,300 per year. $2,300 x 2 years = $4,600 depreciation taken. Book value at beginning of year 3 = $12,000-4,600= $7,400/4 = $1,850

Straight-line depreciation can be calculated by taking:

(cost minus salvage value)/useful life
