Roseburg Corporation manufactures cardboard containers. In 2017, the company purchased several large tracts of timber for $20 million with the intention of harvesting its own timber rather than buying timber from outside suppliers. However, in 2021, Roseburg abandoned the idea, and sold all of the timber tracts for $30 million. Net income for 2021, before considering this event, was $12 million.Required:Write a memo providing your recommended income statement presentation of the gain on the sale of the timber tracts. Be sure to include a discussion of the alternatives that might be considered.
At the beginning of 2024, Terra Lumber Company purchased a timber tract from Boise Cantor for $3,160,000. After the timber is cleared, the land will have a residual value of $780,000. Roads to enable logging operations were constructed and completed on March 30, 2024. The cost of the roads, which have no residual value and no alternative use after the tract is cleared, was $238,000. During 2024, Terra logged 680,000 of the estimated 6.8 million board feet of timber.
Required:
Calculate the 2024 depletion of the timber tract and depreciation of the logging roads, assuming the units-of-production method is used for both assets.
Forda Lumber Company owns a 7,000-acre tract of timber purchased in 2006 at a cost of $1,300 per acre. At the time of purchase, the land was estimated to have a value of $300 per acre without the timber. Forda Lumber Company has not logged this tract since it was purchased. In 2020, Forda had the timber cruised. The cruise (appraiser) estimated that each acre contained 8,000 board feet of timber. In 2020, Forda built 10 miles of roads at a cost of $7,840 per mile. After the roads were completed, Forda logged and sold 3,500 trees containing 850,000 board feet.
Instructions
a. Determine the cost of timber sold related to depletion for 2020.
b. If Forda depreciates the logging roads on the basis of timber cut, determine the depreciation expense for 2020.
c. If Forda plants five seedlings at a cost of $4 per seedling for each tree cut, how should Forda treat the reforestation?
