In extraction and mining industry, entities have fixed assets mines, quarries and wells to extract natural resources like coal, oil, timber, metal, salt etc. Unlike property, plant and equipment that are used during the period, these assets get consumed as a result of extraction. For such assets, depreciation is calculated using depletion method. Depletion is allocation of cost of natural []
