ACCOUNTING

On February 19 of the current year, Quartzite Co. pays $5,400,000 for land estimated to contain 4 million tons of recoverable ore. It installs machinery costing$400,000 that has a 16-year life and no salvage value and is capable of mining the ore deposit in 12 years. The machinery is paid for on March 21, eleven days before mining operations begin. The company removes and sells 254,000 tons of ore during its first nine months of operations ending on December 31. Depreciation of the machinery is in proportion to the mine’s depletion as the machinery will be abandoned after the ore is mined. Prepare entries to record (a) the purchase of the land, (b) the cost and installation of the machinery, (c) the first nine months’ depletion assuming the land has a net salvage value of zero after the ore is mined, and (d) the first nine months’ depreciation on the machinery. Describe both the similarities and differences in amortization, depletion, and depreciation.

What is absorption costing used for?

Absorption costing, sometimes called “full costing,” is a managerial accounting method for capturing all costs associated with manufacturing a particular product. The direct and indirect costs, such as direct materials, direct labor, rent, and insurance, are accounted for by using this method.

Who uses absorption costing reports?

1 Although any company can use both methods for different reasons, public companies are required to use absorption costing due to their GAAP accounting obligations.

Why is absorption costing also called full costing?

Absorption costing is also known as full costing since it includes all the costs associated with production. Variable costs are direct labour and material costs. Fixed costs include rent, security, and insurance expenses.

Which costing method is also known as full costing?

Absorption costing is a costing system that is used in valuing inventory. It not only includes the cost of materials and labor, but also both variable and fixed manufacturing overhead costs. Absorption costing is also referred to as full costing.
