Solution

Cost depletion is one of two accounting strategies used to dispense the expenses of extracting natural assets, like lumber, minerals, and oil, and to record those expenses as working costs or operating costs to lessen pre-tax pay. It’s a strategy for allotting extraction costs, charged as a cost or as an expense.
