Teller-Morrow purchases a coal mine for $3,000,000 and spends an additional $1,000,000 getting the mine ready for use on January 1st, 2020. At the end of its life (5 years), it will cost $500,000 to restore the land to its previous state (the mine land has no residual value). For depletion estimates, they expect to be able to extract 1,000 tons of coal from the mine. In the first year, Teller-Morrow extracts 500 tons of coal and it costs $1,000 per ton to extract the coal. They sell 300 tons of coal for $10,000 per ton in the first year. The effective interest rate is 10 percent.
