The company also purchased equipment to use in the extraction process that cost $220,450. The company plans to abandon the equipment when the ore is completely mined. During 2018, the company extracted and sold 1.25 million tons of ore. What is the depletion expense recorded for 2018

$562,500

Explanation:

Depletion expenses = Land expenses

Depletion expenses = [$2,300,000 - $50,000 / 4]

Depletion expenses = $2,250,000 / 4

Depletion expenses = $562500

So, the depletion expense recorded for 2018 is $562,500

x=3

step-by-step explanation:

this is really simple i saw that there was only one term (5x) and thought if that was 15 what would i have to multiply everything else to get it there? well if 5x became 15 then x would have to be 3 so plug the 3 in the x for the other equations and you get 15 for the other ones. so there you go. : )
