EXPLORATION ASSETS AND DEPLETION

THEORY

1. PFRS 6 applies to expenditures incurred


a. When a specific area is being developed and preparations for commercial extraction are
being made
b. In extracting mineral resources and processing the resource to make it marketable or
transportable
c. When searching for an area that may want detailed exploration, even though the entity
has not yet obtained the legal rights to explore a specific area
d. When the legal rights to explore a specific area have been obtained, but the technical
feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource are not yet
demonstrated

2. Which of the following expenditures would never qualify as an exploration and evaluation asset?
a. Expenditure for exploratory drilling
b. Expenditure for acquisition of rights to explore
c. Expenditures related to the development of mineral resources
d. Expenditures for activities in relation to evaluating the technical feasibility and
commercial viability of extracting mineral resources

3. Does PFRS 6 require an entity to recognize exploration and evaluation expenditures as assets?
a. No, such expenditure is always expensed in profit or loss incurred
b. Yes, but only to the extent such expenditure is recoverable in future periods
c. Yes, but only to the extent required by the entity’s accounting policy for recognizing
exploration and evaluation of assets
d. Yes, but only to the extent the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting
the associated mineral resources have been demonstrated

4. An entity is required to consider which of the following in developing accounting policy for
exploration and evaluation activities?
a. Recent pronouncements of standard-setting bodies
b. Whether the accounting policy results in information that is relevant and reliable
c. The requirements and guidance in PFRS dealing with similar and related issues
d. The definitions, recognition criteria, and measurement concepts or assets, liabilities,
income and expenses in the Conceptual Framework

5. Which measurement model applies to exploration and evaluation assets subsequent to initial
recognition?
a. The cost model
b. The revaluation model
c. The recoverable amount model
d. Either the cost model or the revaluation model

6. Which of the following is not a disclosure requirement by PFRS 6?


a. Information about commercial reserve quantities
b. Accounting policies for exploration and evaluation expenditures including the
recognition of exploration and evaluation assets
c. Information that identifies and explains the amounts recognized in the financial
statements arising from the exploration of mineral resources
d. The amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses and operating and investing cash
flows arising from the exploration and evaluation of mineral resources

7. Of the following costs related to the development of mineral resources, which one should not be
included in depletable cost?
a. Acquisition cost of the mineral resource deposit
b. Exploration cost
c. Tangible equipment cost associated with machinery used to extract the mineral resource
d. Intangible development cost such as drilling cost, tunnel, and shaft

8. Depletion expense
a. Is usually part of cost of goods sold
b. Includes tangible equipment cost in the depletion base
c. Excludes intangible equipment cost from the depletion base
d. Excludes restoration cost from the depletion base

9. The most common method of recording depletion for accounting purposes is the
a. Percentage of depletion method
b. Straight line
c. Production or output method
d. Decreasing charge method

PROBLEMS

10. Shiena Corporation purchased mining property for P10,400,000 with estimated 8,000,000 tons
of ore. The residual value of the property is P800,000. Building used in mine operations costs
P800,000 and have estimated life of fifteen years with no residual value. Mine machinery costs
P1,600,000 with an estimated residual value of P320,000 after its physical life of 4 years.

Following is the summary of the company’s operations for 2021, the first year of operations.

Tons mined 800,000 tons


Tons sold 640,000 tons
Unit selling price per ton P4.40
Direct labor 640,000
Miscellaneous mining overhead 128,000
Operating expenses (excluding depreciation) 576,000

Inventories are valued on a first-in, first-out basis. Depreciation on the building is to be allocated
as follows: 20% to operating expenses, 80% to production. Depreciation on machinery is
chargeable to production.

Question 1: How much is the depletion for 2021?


a. P768,000
b. P192,000
c. P960,000
d. P1,040,000
