Question

1. Tamarisk’s Steelers Inc. (MSI) is a steel manufacturing company located in Ontario. On November 1, 2018, MSI acquired land on which it constructed a facility for steel manufacturing purposes. Since its manufacturing process produces excessive waste, the government of Ontario has imposed a requirement for MSI to clean up property. As part of its agreement with the province of Ontario, MSI is allowed to operate on this site for only 15 years after which time MSI estimates it will need to incur $2,200,000 to clean up the site.

The company’s discount rate is 6% and MSI reports under IFRS with a December 31 year-end.
