Answer:  The statement  you gave have different question options.  I will solve the both of them.Please see explanation column

Explanation:

a)Journal to record payment for the oil reserve

Account and particulars                  Debit            Credit

Oil and gas properties              $6,500,000

Cash                                                                        $6,500,000

b)Journal to record payment for additional cost associated with the purchase of  oil reserve

Account and particulars                  Debit            Credit

Oil and gas properties              $1,030,000

Cash                                                                        $1,030,000

Calculation

550,000 for additional geological tests of the property + $ 480,000 for drilling =$1,030,000

c))Journal to record depletion expense for oil and gas properties

Account and particulars                  Debit                 Credit

Depletion expense             $1,506,000

Accumulated depletion                                     $1,506,000                     

Calculation

Depreciation for a unit = Cost - Residual value/ useful unit

Total cost = Purchase of oil reserve + geological tests +drilling.

= $6,500,000+550,000+$ 480,000= $7,530,000

Depreciation per unit =$7,530,000- $0/300,000 = $25.10per barrel

Depletion expense=

Depreciation for units of barrel sold =Price per barrel x units sold

$25.1 x 60,000 = $1,506,000

Second question

a)Journal to record payment for the oil reserve

Account and particulars                  Debit            Credit

Oil and gas properties              $6,300,000

Cash                                                                        $6,300,000

b)Journal to record payment for additional cost associated with the purchase of  oil reserve

Account and particulars                  Debit            Credit

Oil and gas properties              $1,000,000

Cash                                                                        $1,000,000

Calculation

560,000 for additional geological tests of the property + $ 440,000 for drilling =$1,000,000

c))Journal to record depletion expense for oil and gas properties

Account and particulars                  Debit                 Credit

Depletion expense             $1,186,250

Accumulated depletion                                     $1,186,250                      

Calculation

Depreciation for a unit = Cost - Residual value/ useful unit

Total cost = Purchase of oil reserve + geological tests +drilling.

= $6,300,000+560,000+$ 440,000= $7,300,000

Depreciation per unit =$7,300,000- $0/400,000 = $18.25 per barrel

Depletion expense=

Depreciation for units of barrel sold =Price per barrel x units sold

$18.25 x 65,000 = $1,186,250
