Question - On January 1, 2020, Astorville Aggregate opened a small open pit mining operation that supplies gravel for highway construction. The original infrastructure for the mine cost $600,000. This was capitalized as a single asset called "aggregate mine equipment" which was assumed to be depreciable with a seven-year life. At the end of the site's useful existence, Astorville is required to return the site to a "natural" state as defined by provincial regulation. This would include the dismantling and removal of infrastructure equipment. At the beginning of operations (January 1, 2020) it was estimated that the restoration would cost $500,000. Since material is removed each year from the site, each year's production will add an estimated $35,000 to the expected costs of the restoration. That is, the final expected cost of the restoration will be $500,000 + (7 X $35,000) = $745,000. An appropriate discount rate is 8%. Astorville Aggregate prepares its statements in accordance with ASPE.
