On January 1, 20X5, Sharpe Industries Inc. expanded its drainage pond at a cost of $4,250,800. Of this cost, 65% is attributed to the pond and the remaining 35% is attributed to electrical equipment. The pond is expected to have a 22-year useful life and a residual value of $100,000. It will be depreciated on a straight-line basis. The electrical equipment is expected to have an eight-year useful life and a residual value of $50,000. However, the company has determined that the electrical equipment will be depreciated on a declining balance basis using a rate of 15%. The drainage pond includes an obligation to restore the land to its original condition at the end of the pond's 22-year useful life. Sharpe estimates that this obligation will cost $6,500,000 in 22 years. The company uses a discount rate of 8.5% to discount this obligation. Sharpe follows IFRS. It also applies the half-year rule in calculating depreciation in the year of acquisition and in the year of disposal.
