Determinethe depletion charge in a yr when 300,000 ounces are mined and sold for $5.00 per ounce by (a)Cost depletion, and (b) Percentage depletion Depletion Example Solution: (a) Pt = 2,500,000 / 1,000,000 = $2.50 per ounce Cost depletion = 2.50(300,000) = $750,000 (b) Percentage depl = 300,000(5.00)(0.15)= $225,000
