1. Asset Retirement Obligation Bassinger Company purchases an oil tanker depot on January 1, 2010, at a cost of $600,000. Bassinger expects to operate the depot for 10 years, at which time it is legally required to dismantle the depot and remove the underground storage tanks. It is estimated that it will cost $70,000 to dismantle the depot and remove the tanks at the end of the depot's useful life.
