WHY IS THIS VIDEO SO UNDERRATED, this was the only vid i could find on KZbin that explained this and not only that but the explanations are simple and understandable and literally what seemed so complicated became so easy thanks alot you are wonderful at teaching, hope you get more recognition, and have an amazing life❤

[@leahk7057]

Thank you, Sir! The best explanation!

[@MyFinancialFocus]

Journal entries can get complicated. Glad we have debits and credits to make it easier :)

[@francescociccone2224]

in reality, if I can say my opinion, the US version of "debit/credit" is a little bit weird, bcs they simply reverse the italian version that has an easier way to be understood, infact, in italy we have credit on the left and debit on the right. and if you think about the credit's J.E., the reason of being on the left is a way better bcs when y receive it, they are on the left, and when y receive it, they are on the right. I mean, on italy, the professors teaches to you that this is like "when you have a credit they are giving y an apple, and when you receive the credit, you are giving it back" (it's like the movement of the hands, but with the credits). I hope I have made myself understood.

Very insightful and helpful explanation. Thank you!

[@Edspira]

No problem!

[@janellebarbour4565]

Great video...but could you also do an example when the there is the cost of production that excludes the depletion rate?

please share deprecation rate on personal fixed assects

[@meera2038]

Instead of debiting Inventory, can we debit depletion expense?

[@Jason-zr6om]

So the depletion rate never changes???

Hey, Thanks for the video but I'm not sure why inventory would increase to 100,000. If the mining company extracted 50,000 tons of ore shouldn't the value of that be the inventory? I don't understand why you are multiplying the cost per depletion (2$ per ton) by the 50,000 of ore to come up with inventory value. That doesn't make sense.

[@Edspira]

Shamari Benton What we need to do is allocate the cost of the natural resource to accounting periods. The fair value of the ore doesn't come into play until we recognize revenue. The revenue (derived from fair value) minus the cost (derived from depletion) will tell us how much profit the mining company made.

[@andybotchwey4620]

The value is based on the the depletion base. The 50,000 produced is just the quantity not value. The $2 is the predetermined valuation of the all the ounces available.
