Disclosure of vulnerability to concentration is required when?
Disclosure of vulnerability to concentration is required if all of the following criteria are met:
The concentration exists as of the financial statement date.
The concentration makes the entity vulnerable to the risk of a near-term severe impact.
It is at least reasonably possible that the events that could cause a severe impact from the vulnerability will occur in the near term.
Although the concentration in question might be in a specific geographic area, other concentrations (e.g., concentrations with respect to a specific customer or a specific supplier) must also be disclosed if the above criteria are met.
The subsequent event evaluation period
For SEC filer: when the financial statement ARE issued
that date is when statements are widely distributed to financial statement users in a form and format that comply with GAAP,
For non-filers: when financial statements ARE AVAILABLE to be issued
financial statements are in a form and format that comply with GAAP and all approvals for issuance have been obtained
depletion
cost ( PP + preparation - salavage) / total production = depletion per unit
depletion for the year = depletion rate * units sold
NOT the unit produced
In this question, the total cost of the mine is the purchase price ($2,000,000) plus the preparation ($500,000), net of the anticipated sales price at the end of its useful life ($100,000). The total cost is thus $2,400,000 ($2,000,000 + $500,000 - $100,000 = $2,400,000). That total cost is divided by the estimated 750,000 tons of coal, for a per unit depletion amount of $3.20. Note that the depletion amount per unit would be the same for every year unless additional expenditures were incurred.
Note that the 15,000 tons produced and sold is irrelevant because the question is asking for the depletion per ton. Often, the questions indicate that a certain number of units is produced and that a different amount is sold and ask about the depreciation expense for the period. In those questions, it is the number of units sold that count.

Gift certificates are treated as deferred revenue
Deferred revenue represents future income collected in advance. When the gift certificates are sold, deferred revenue is increased.
When the certificates are redeemed, the revenue is earned and shown in the income statement. Deferred revenue is decreased.
When the certificates lapse, the company has no further liability and revenue is earned. Deferred revenue is decreased.
