The following information relates to the financial statements of Kumasi Ltd for the year to 31 March 20X4.

It has made information about this policy public and has provided examples to demonstrate that it is a responsible company that believes in restoring mining sites at the end of the extraction period. The cost of removing the construction at the end of the three years is estimated to be GH¢100,000.

The cost of the site currently shown in the trial balance is GH¢500,000. The company has a cost of borrowing of 10%.
