Answer:

Depletion Expense for Current Year = 57,692

Explanation:

Cost Price of Mineral Deposit= $800,000

Salvage Value = $50,000

Useful life = Unknown

Expected to Produce = 1200,000 tons of ore

Currently mined and sold = 90,000 tons of ore

Depletion Expense for current year = ?

Expected to produce 1200,000 tons in ______ number of years

Currently produced 90,000 tons

therefore =     1200,000

                          90,000

                 = 13 years to produce 1200,000 tons of ore

Therefore Depletion Expense for Current Year = 800,000-50,000

                                                                                       13 years

                                                                        = 750,000

                                                                              13

                                                                         = 57,692
