Question

Bramble Company owns a 7,560-acre tract of timber purchased in 2003 at a cost of $1,404 per acre. At the time of purchase, the land was estimated to have a value of $324 per acre without the timber. Bramble Company has not logged this tract since it was purchased. In 2017, Bramble had the timber cruised. The cruise (appraiser) estimated that each acre contained 8,640 board feet of timber. In 2017, Bramble built 10 miles of roads at a cost of $8,467 per mile. After the roads were completed, Bramble logged and sold 3,780 trees containing 918,000 board feet. Determine the cost of timber sold related to depletion for 2017. (Round intermediate calculations to 5 decimal places, e.g. 1.24654 and final answer to o decimal places, e.g. 5,125.)

(c) If Bramble plants five seedlings at a cost of $4 per seedling for each tree cut, how should Bramble treat the reforestation?

Explanation / Answer

a)Cost of timber per acre= 1404-324=1080
Total cost of timber= 1080*7560=8164800
Depletion in board feet=7560*8640=65318400
Depletion rate=( total cost-salvage value)/ total estimated units available
=8164800/65318400=0.125
Total cost of timebr=0.125*918000=114750

b)cost of road=10*8467=84670
Depreciation=84670*(918000/65318400)=1190

c)=3780*5*4=75600
