Chapter 30: Depletion Flashcards
Include minerals, oil, natural gas and similar non regenerative resources.
Mineral resources
Search for mineral resources after the entity has obtained legal right
Exploration and evaluation of mineral resources
The expenditures incurred in connection with the exploration and evaluation of mineral resources before the technical feasibility and commercial viability.
Exploration and evaluation of expenditures
Expenditures incurred after the technical feasibility and commercial viability are demonstrable.
Development expenditures
Expenditures related to development of mineral resources cannot be recognized as exploration and evaluation expenditures.
T
Initial measurement
Cost
Subsequent Measurement
Cost model or revaluation model
Are material objects of economic balue and utility to man produced by nature.
Wasting assets
Usually include coal, oil, ore, precious metals like gold and silver and timber.
Natural resources
Two main features of wasting assets
- Physically consumed.
- are irreplaceable
Cost of Wasting Asset
- Acquisition cost
- Exploration cost
- Development Cost
- Estimated restoration cost
Two method of accounting for exploration cost
a. Successful effort method
b. Full cost method
2 kinds of stripping cost
- Development phase
- Production phase
Is the expenditure incurred before the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource are demonstrated.
Exploration cost
Includes acquisition of right to explore, geological study, exploratory drilling, trenching and sampling, activity.
Exploration cost
Is the cost incurred to exploit or extract the natural resource that has been located through successful exploration.; May be in the form of Tangible or intagible equipment.
Development Cost
Is the cost to be incurred in order to bring the property to its original condition.
Estimated Restoration Cost.
The removal, extraction or exhaustion of a natural resource
Depletion
is the systematic allocation of the depletable amount of a wasting asset over the period the natural resource is extracted or produced.
Depletion
Depletion is computed using
Output or prodction method
How to compute depletable amount of the wasting asset
Deplatable amount of WA / Units estimated to be extracted
How to compute depletion rate per unit
Multiplied by units extracted during the year at the depletion for the period.
