    Hello,

    Is below correct?

    On 1 Jan 20X1 a facility cost 190, useful life is 3 years, residual value is 100, NPV of decommissioning costs is 40 (discount rate 5%).

    At 31/12/20X1
    Non-current assets:
    Facility 190
    Decomissionning costs 40
    Less: Depreciation (130/3) (43.3)
    186.67

    Provisions (40 + 2) 42

    Income statement:
    Depreciation 43.3
    Unwinding of discount (5%x40) 2
    45.3

    At 31/12/20X2
    Non-current assets:
    Facility 190
    Decomissionning costs 40
    Less: Depreciation (130/3)*2 (86.6)
    143.4

    Provisions (42 + 2.1) 44.1

    Income statement:
    Depreciation 43.3
    Unwinding of discount (5%x40) 2.1
    45.4

    At 31/12/20X3
    Non-current assets:
    Facility 190
    Decomissionning costs 40
    Less: Depreciation (130)
    100

    Provisions (44.1 + 2.205) 46.305
    (which is debited, when decommissioning cost is paid, i.e. reduces to 0)

    Income statement:
    Depreciation 43.3
    Unwinding of discount (5%x44.1) 2.205
    45.505

    principally, yes. You’ve a careless / typing error ie 5% x 42 = 2.1 not 5% x 40 = 2.1
