Brief Exercise 10-5 (Algo) Asset retirement obligation [LO10-1]
Smithson Mining operates a silver mine in Nevada. Acquisition, exploration, and development costs totaled $6.1 million. After the silver
is extracted in approximately five years, Smithson is obligated to restore the land to its original condition, including constructing a
wildlife preserve. The company's controller has provided the following three cash flow possibilities for the restoration costs: (1)
$550,000, 10% probability; (2) $600,000, 50% probability; and (3) $700,000, 40% probability. The company's credit-adjusted, risk-free
rate of interest is 5%.
What is the book value of the asset retirement liability at the end of one year?
Assuming that the actual restoration costs incurred after five years are $646,000, what amount of gain or loss will Smithson recognize
on retirement of the liability?
