"The beginning of the current year, a firm invested $30 million in a natural resources site." This amount was applied to the acquisition of the mineral rights, exploring for the resource (full-costing method is used), and development. In addition, the firm must bring the property back to its original state three years from today. Two estimates of the future cost for that future effort are: (1) $6 million with 30% probability, and (2) $4 million with 70% probability. 6% is the appropriate risk adjusted rate of return. The present value of $1 in three years at 6% is 0.83962. By the end of the current year, the firm had removed 20% of the total estimated resource in the deposit. Compute depletion and accretion expense for the current year.
