Question:
On March 1 of the current year, Petroleum Inc. installed underground storage tanks. The tanks have a useful life of 15 years, at the end of which Petroleum must remediate the site back to its original condition. The cost to purchase and install the storage tanks was $5,000,000, and the decommissioning cost is expected to be $650,000. The discount rate for this obligation is 4%. Petroleum uses the straight-line method of depreciation prorated based on number of months in use, and the tanks are expected to have a residual value of $200,000.
Assuming that Petroleum reports under IFRS, what is the amount of depreciation related to the storage tanks for the current year ended December 31?
