    During the year Peterlee acquired an iron ore mine at a cost of $6 million. In addition, when all the ore has been extracted (estimated ten years’ time) the company will face estimated costs for landscaping the area affected by the mining that have a present value of $2 million. These costs would still have to be incurred even if no further ore was extracted.
    How should this $2 million future cost be recognised in the financial statements?

    A Provision $2 million and $2 million capitalised as part of cost of mine
    B Provision $2 million and $2 million charged to operating costs
    C Accrual $200,000 per annum for next ten years
    D Should not be recognised as no cost has yet arisen

    I know that A is the correct answer. My question is: how do you account for provision in the first year and further.
    Cash is down by 6 m. fixed assets are up by 6 m. So how do you account for provision?

    You should ask this in the ‘ask the F7 tutor’ forum.
