Coyote Co. is building a waste landfill in the desert between Arizona and California. Coyote estimates that this landfill will be in operation for five years, will cost $250 million to build, and will generate $800 million in revenues during its useful life. Federal law requires that Coyote decommission and decontaminate the site at the end of its useful life. A team of engineers has studied the decontamination procedure and has estimated that Coyote will have to spend $15 million on the decommissioning process when the landfill is shut down in five years. Coyote’s credit-adjusted rate of interest is 10%. Use tables (PV of 1, PVAD of 1, and PVOA of 1) (Use the appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Required: 1-a. Prepare the entry required for the recognition of any ARO asset and liability. 1-b. Prepare an amortization table.
