    Answer: $0.79

    Given:

    C=Cost of the land: $1,981,300

    S=Salvage value of the land: $267,000

    N=Total number of ores mined = 2,170,000 tons

    To get the depletion expense per ton of ore:

    (C-S) / N

    = ($1,981,300-$267,000) / 2,170,000

    =1,714,300/2,170,000

    =$0.79
