B.Land held as an investment.
C.Timber purchased by a lumber yard.
D.Diamond mine.
E.Goodwill.
120.Depletion is:
A.The process of allocating the cost of natural resources to the period when it is consumed.

121.A company purchased a tract of land for its natural resources at a cost of $1,500,000. It expects to mine 2,000,000 tons of ore from this land. The salvage value of the land is expected to be $250,000. The depletion expense per ton of ore is:
A.$0.75.
B.$0.625.
C.$0.875.
D.$6.00.
E.$8.00.
Depletion Expense per ton = (Cost – Salvage Value)/Estimated Useful Life (in tons)Depletion Expense per ton = ($1,500,000 – $250,000)/2,000,000 = $0.625/ton
122.A company purchased a tract of land for its natural resources at a cost of $1,500,000. It expects to mine 2,000,000 tons of ore from this land. The salvage value of the land is expected to be $250,000. If 150,000 tons of ore are mined during the first year, the journal entry to record the depletion is:
A.Debit Depletion Expense $93,750; credit Natural Resources $93,750.
B.Debit Cash $112,500; credit Natural Resources $112,500.
C.Debit Depletion Expense $93,750; credit Accumulated Depletion $93,750.
D.Debit Cash $93,750; credit Accumulated Depletion $93,750.
E.Debit Depletion Expense $112,500; credit Accumulated Depletion $112,500.
Depletion Expense per ton = (Cost – Salvage Value)/Estimated Useful Life (in tons)Depletion Expense per ton = ($1,500,000 – $250,000)/2,000,000 = $0.625/tonYear 1 Depletion Expense = 150,000 * $0.625 = $93,750
123.A company purchased a tract of land for its natural resources at a cost of $1,000,000. It expects to harvest 5,000,000 board feet of timber from this land. The salvage value of the land is expected to be $200,000. The depletion expense per board foot of timber is:
A.$0.75.
B.$0.24.
C.$0.20.
D.$0.16.
E.$0.04.
Depletion Expense per board foot = (Cost – Salvage Value)/Estimated Useful Life in feetDepletion Expense per board foot = ($1,000,000 – $200,000)/5,000,000 = $0.16/board foot
124.A company purchased a mineral deposit for $800,000. It expects this property to produce 120,000 tons of minerals and to have a salvage value of $50,000. In the current year, the company mined and sold 9,000 tons of minerals. Its depletion expense for the current period equals:
A.$15,000.
B.$60,000.
C.$150,000.
D.$56,250.
E.$139,500.
Depletion Expense = [(Cost – Salvage Value)/Estimated Useful Life (in tons)] * Tons Mined and SoldDepletion Expense = [($800,000 – $50,000)/120,000] * 9,000 = $56,250
125.Intangible assets do not include:

C.The process of allocating the cost of natural resources to periods when they are consumed.
D.An accelerated form of expensing an asset’s cost.
