1. acquisition costs

2. exploration costs

Front 10

Asset Retirement obligations(AROs)

Back 10

Measured at fair value and is recognized as a liability and corresponding increase in asset valuation.

Front 11

Expected Cash flow approach

Back 11

Cash flows are adjusted, not the discount rate for the uncertainty or risk of cash flows; incorporates specific probabilities of cash flows into analysis

discount rate is equal to the credit-adjusted risk free rate; the higher a company's credit risk, the higher the discount rate.

Front 12

Accretion expense

Back 12

Difference between asset retirement obligation and the probability-weighted expected cash outflow; an additional expense that accrues as an operating expense over the excavation period.

Decisions related to PPE and intangible asset acquisition, which could influence a company's performance over many years.

Requires management to forecast all future net cash flows(cash inflows minus cash outflows) generated by the asset(s).

Cash flows are used in a model, such as the NPV model(which compares the present value of future net cash flows with the required initial acquisition cost of the assets)to determine if the future cash flows are sufficient to warrant the capital expenditure.

Front 18

Fixed Asset Turnover Ratio

Back 18

Net Sales/Average Fixed Assets

Front 19

Specific Interest method

Back 19

f

Front 20
