Whispering Winds Corp. erected and placed into service an offshore oil platform on January 1.2023, at a cost of 58 million. Whispering Winds is legally required to dismantle and remove the platform at the end of its eight-year useful life. Whispering Winds estimates that it will cost $0.8 million to dismantle and remove the platform at the end of its useful life and that the discount rate to use should be 9%. Using (a) factor Table A.2. (b) a financial calculator, or (c) Excel function PV, prepare the entry to record the asset retirement obligation. Assume that none of the $0.8 million cost relates to production. (Round factor values to 5 decimal places, e.s. 1.25124 and final answer to 0 decimal places, es. 5,275. Credit account titles are automotically indented when the amount is entered. Do not indent manually. List debit entry before credit entry. If no entry is required, select "No Entry" for the account titles and enter Ofor the amounts.)
