    Hi,

    Please can you help me with a question.

    If a company buys machinery for £2m this year and has a legislation to dispose of it in 10 years. The item has a £500,000 dismantling cost and a 10% discount.

    I understand the disposal does not need to be recorded until the asset has actually been disposed of. So i would need to value the dismantling cost at present value and unwind the discount.

    Pv = £193,000 calc= (1/1.1^10) * £500,000

    Year 1: Pv = £193,000
    10% finance cost = £19,300
    C/f = £213,300

    This would be done for 10 years.

    Is this correct? My confusion is how would i account for the above in this years financial statement.

    Thank you

    Dr PPE $193,000
    Cr Obligation to dismantle $193,000

    Depreciate the revised asset carrying value of $500,000 + $193,000

    Unroll the discount:

    Dr Finance Cost $19,300
    Cr Obligation to dismantle $19,300

    OK?
