36. Bob Quinn is in the gravel business and has engaged you to assist in evaluating his company, Quinn
Gravel Company. Your first step is to collect the facts about the company's operations. On January 3,
2010, Bob purchased a piece of property with gravel deposits for $3,155,000. He estimated that the
gravel deposits contained 4,700,000 cubic yards of gravel. The gravel is used for making roads. After
the gravel is gone, the land, which is in the desert, will be worth only about $100,000.
The equipment required to extract the gravel cost $726,000. In addition, Bob had to build a small
frame building to house the mine office and a small dining hall for the workers. The building cost
$76,000 and will have no residual value after its estimated useful life of ten years. It cannot be moved
from the mine site. The equipment has an estimated useful life of six years (with no residual value) and
also cannot be moved from the mine site.
Trucks for the project cost $154,000 (estimated life, six years; residual value, $10,000). The trucks, of
course, can be used at a different site.
Bob estimated that in five years all the gravel would be mined and the mine would be shut down.
During 2010, 1,175,000 cubic yards of gravel were mined. The average selling price during the year
was $1.33 per cubic yard, and at the end of the year 125,000 cubic yards remained unsold. Operating
expenses were $426,000 for labor and $116,000 for other expenses.
a. Prepare adjusting entries to record depletion and depreciation for the first year of operation (2010).
Assume that the depreciation rate is equal to the percentage of the total gravel mined during the year,
unless the asset is movable. For movable assets, use the straight-line method. (Omit explanations.)

37. Starsky Manufacturing Company purchased three machines during the year:
Feb. 10
Machine 1
$ 1,800
July 26
Machine 2
12,000
Oct. 11
Machine 3
21,600
Each machine is expected to last six years and have no residual value. The company's fiscal year
corresponds to the calendar year. Using the straight-line method, compute the depreciation charge for
each machine for the year. Round amounts to the nearest dollar.
38. A truck that cost $40,000 and on which $30,000 of accumulated depreciation had been recorded was

a. It was discarded as having no value.
b. It was sold for $7,200 cash.
c. It was sold for $13,500 cash.

40. Leroy Mining Company purchased land containing an estimated 10,000,000 tons of ore for a cost of
$750,000. The land without the ore is estimated to be worth $150,000 (the residual value). Buildings
costing $45,000 with an estimated useful life of 20 years were erected on the site. Because of the
remote location, the buildings have no residual value. The company expects that all the usable ore can
be mined in eight years. During its first year of operation, the company mined 1,000,000 tons of ore
and at the end of the year had an inventory of 200,000 tons. Determine the following amounts for the
first year: (a) depletion charge per ton; (b) depletion expense for year; and (c) depreciation expense for
buildings, using the straight-line method. (Show your work.)
41. Bob Jefferson obtained a ten-year sublease on a busy corner to open a used car business. To obtain the
sublease, he had to pay $7,000 to the current tenant, who had 12 years to go on his lease. The annual
cost of the lease is $9,000. In addition to paying for the sublease, Bob paid $5,000 to pave the lot. The
paving will have no residual value after its useful life of ten years. Prepare entries in journal form to
record the following (omit explanations):
a. The payment for the sublease
b. The payment for the paving
c. The lease payment for the first year
d. The expense, if any, associated with the sublease for the first year
e. The expense, if any, associated with the paving, using the straight-line method for the first year
