Calculate the cost depletion for a property with an original cost of $500,000, total reserves of 100,000 barrels, and an annual production of 5,000 barrels, with a current basis of $500,000.

The annual depletion deduction is $2,500.00, and the remaining basis is $497,500.00.

What is the percentage depletion for a production with $100,000 gross income, a current basis of $200,000, and a depletion rate of 15%?

The annual depletion deduction is $15,000.00, and the remaining basis is $185,000.00.

Compare cost depletion of $5,000 and percentage depletion of $7,000 with a marginal tax rate of 24%.

The optimal method is Percentage Depletion, providing an annual deduction of $7,000. This results in a tax savings difference of $480.00 compared to Cost Depletion.

Cost Depletion is based on the actual cost of the property relative to its reserves, while Percentage Depletion is a fixed percentage of gross income, limited by the remaining basis.
