    COGS: 22,000 x $23 = 506,000

    Ending Inventory: 8,000 x $23 = 184,000

    Explanation:

    acquisition cost: 1,190,000

    development cost: 200,000

    restoration cost: 90,000

    salvage value: (100,000)

    depreciable amount 1,380,000

    1,380,000 / 60,000 tons = 23 dollars per ton:

    COGS: 22,000 x $23 = 506,000

    Ending Inventory: 8,000 x $23 = 184,000
