Answer:

The answer is: E) None of these

Explanation:

First we must calculate the depletion expense per pound of turquoise:

  • $300,000 / 5,000 estimated pounds of turquoise = $60 per pound of turquoise

If Santa Fe extracted 1,500 pounds of turquoise this year, their total depletion expense for the year should be:

  • 1,500 pounds of turquoise x $60 per pound of turquoise = $90,000
