A company purchased a tract of land for its natural resources at a cost of $1,500,000. It expects to mine 2,000,000 tons of ore from this land. The salvage value of the land is expected to be $250,000. If 150,000 tons of ore are mined during the first year, the journal entry to record the depletion is:

Please see below

Explanation:

Depletion  expense =  Initial price Purchase  - Residual value /  Total number of units.

 $1,500,000 - $250,000/ 2,000,000 = 0.0625 per ton

if 150,000 tons of ore are mined,

Depletion expense  = depletion per ton x units mined

                    0.625 x 150,000=$93,750

journal entry to record the depletion is:

Account                                       Debit        Credit

Depletion expense                  $93,750

Accumulated Depreciation                      $93,750

forbearance of student loan payments. under forbearance, your loan payments are postponed (or reduced) but interest continues to accrue during the period of forbearance. if you don't pay the interest during that period, the interest may be “capitalized,” which means it is added to your principal balance.
