Computation of depreciation and cost of good sold.

Stanislaw Timber Company owns 9,000 acres of timberland purchased in 1996 at a cost of $1,400 per acre. At the time of purchase the land without the timber was valued at $400 per acre. In 1997, Stanislaw built fire lanes and roads, with a life of 30 years, at a cost of $84,000. Every year Stanislaw sprays to prevent disease at a cost of $3,000 per year and spends $7000 to maintain the fire lanes and roads. During 1998, Stanislaw selectively logged and sold 700,000 board feet of timber, of the estimated 3,500,000 board feet. In 1999, Stanislaw planted new seedlings to replace the trees cut at a cost of $100,000.

Instructions:

a) Determine the depreciation expense and the cost of timber sold related to depletion for 1998
b) Stanislaw has not logged since 1998. If Stanislaw logged and sold 900,000 board feet of timber in 2009, when the timber cruise (appraiser) estimated 5,000,000 board feet, determine the cost of timber sold related to depletion for 2009.
