During 2024, Sheridan constructed a small manufacturing facility specifically to manufacture one particular accessory. Sheridan paid the construction contractor $5,488,000 cash (which was the total contract price) and placed the facility into service on January 1, 2025. Because of technological change, Sheridan anticipates that the manufacturing facility will be useful for no more than 10 years. The local government where the facility is located required that, at the end of the 10-year period, Sheridan remediate the facility so that it can be used as a community center. Sheridan estimates the cost of remediation will be $387,800. Sheridan uses straight-line depreciation with $0 salvage value for its plant asset and a 9% discount rate for asset retirement obligations.
