The amount of cost depletion allowed to Big Tex Company is $75,000.

Here, we are going to calculate the amount of the cost depletion allowed to Big Tex Oil Company.

  • The formulae for the amount of cost depletion is [(Cost of Oil lease / Estimated barrels) * Barrels produced during current year]

Amount of cost depletion = $1,000,000 / 200,000 barrel * 15,000 barrel

Amount of cost depletion = $5 * 15,000 barrel

Amount of cost depletion = $75,000
