For $20 million, Ross Adams Mining acquired a tract of land containing a large deposit of anthracite coal. Ross Adams believes t
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

$6.25 per ton of coal

Explanation:

the depletion base = purchase cost + restoration costs

  • purchase cost = $20 million
  • restoration costs = $6 million

depletion base = $26,000,000

depletion rate per ton of coal = (depletion base - salvage value) / estimated reserves = ($26,000,000 - $1,000,000) / 4,000,000 = $6.25 per ton of coal

The depletion rate follows the same concepts as depreciation of fixed assets, but instead of using a fixed asset, you are extracting materials and decreasing the value of the deposits.

During a recent 30-day period, the Squish restaurant sold 600 Ocean Delights at a price of $6.45. During the next 30-day period,
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

-4.3; inelastic

Explanation:

Initial price = $6.45

Initial quantity demanded = 600

New price = $6.95

New quantity demanded = 400

Percentage change in Quantity demanded:

= (Change in quantity demanded ÷ Initial quantity demanded) × 100

= [(400 - 600) ÷ 600] × 100

= (-200 ÷ 600) × 100

= 0.3333 × 100

= -33.33%

Percentage change in price:

= (Change in price ÷ Initial price) × 100

= [($6.95 - $6.45) ÷ $6.45] × 100

= ($0.5 ÷ $6.45) × 100

= 0.0775 × 100

= 7.75%

Therefore, the price elasticity of demand is as follows:

= Percentage change in quantity demanded ÷ Percentage change in price

= -33.33 ÷ 7.75

= -4.3

Hence, the price elasticity of demand is inelastic.
