Accounting homework question answer, step 1, image 1

Cost of original asset: Cost of Acquisition + Installation charges

= $450 MN + $24 MN

= $474 MN

Asset retirement cost and the related liability should be shown at present value. The discount factor is 5%. 

Asset retirement cost after 30 years will be: $130 MN

PV factor for $1.00 after 30 years @5% rate will be: 0.231

Present value of retirement liability: $130,000,000 x 0.231 = $30,084,723
