On January $1,2023,$ Grouper Corporation erected a drilling platform at a cost of $$5,077,800.$ Grouper is legally required to dismantle

and remove the platform at the end of its $6$ year useful life, at an estimated cost of $$883,500.$ Grouper estimates that $70\%$ of the cost

of dismantling and removing the platform is caused by acquiring the asset itself, and that the remaining $30\%$ of the cost is caused by

using the platform in production. The present value of the increase in asset retirement obligation related to the production of oil in

$2023$ and $2024$ was $$30,065$ and $$32,470,$ respectively. The estimated residual value of the drilling platform is zero, and Grouper uses

straight$-$line depreciation. Grouper prepares financial statements in accordance with IFRS.
