After it has removed all the natural resources, the company will be required to restore the property to its previous state because of strict environmental protection laws. It estimates the fair value of this restoration obligation at $109,800. It believes it will be able to sell the property afterwards for $122,000. It incurred developmental costs of $244,000 before it was able to do any mining. In 2017, resources removed totaled 28,650 tons. The company sold 21,010 tons.

(a) Per unit mineral cost $

(b) Total material cost of December 31, 2017, inventory $
