Perry Corp. acquired a tract of land containing an extractable natural resource. Perry is required by its purchase contract to restore the land to a condition suitable for recreational use after it has extracted the natural resource. Geological surveys estimate that the recoverable reserves will be 6,880,000 tons, and that the land will have a value of $1,150,000 after restoration. Relevant cost information follows: Land  $       9,540,000 Estimated restoration costs  $       1,680,000 If Perry maintains no inventories of extracted material, what should be the charge to depletion expense per ton of extracted material?

EXTRA CREDIT: 5.4 points Magnolia Co. had a sheet metal cutter that cost $135,000 on January 5, 2016. This old cutter had an estimated life of eight years and a salvage value of $21,000.

The overexploitation of cod in the North Atlantic releases crab and shrimp from predation pressure and results in a boom in the number of crab and shrimp.  The increased number of crab and shrimp cause a decline in zooplankton abundance, which subsequently causes an increase in phytoplankton abundance.  This change in the food web is an example of which of these?
