Ans:C.
The PV of the future cleanup costs = 1,636,183 (FV = 3,000,000; N = 10; I/Y = 6.25; PMT = 0; CPT PV). The firm will record asset retirement costs of $1,636,183 as part of the cost of the property and a corresponding ARO liability of $1,636,183.
The asset retirement costs will be amortized at the same rate as the property (10 years, straight-line) and an accretion expense representing the change in the ARO liability will also arise.
Depreciation Expense=1/10 x 1,636,183 = 163,618
Accretion Expense = 6.25% x 1,636,183 = 102,261
Total Expense 265,879
