The excavators were listed in the auction catalogue at $143,000 for excavator A and $283,000 for excavator B. Immediately after the auction, Ivanhoe had the excavators professionally appraised so it could purchase adequate insurance coverage. The appraisal put a fair value of $114,700 on excavator A and $255,300 on excavator B. On April 10, Ivanhoe paid a total of $4,000 in transportation charges for the two excavators. On April 28, Ivanhoe paid $9,000 for improvements to excavator B and no further expenditures were made for excavator A. On April 30, 2024, both excavators were ready to be used. The company expects excavator A to last eight years and to have a residual value of $7,100 when it is removed from service, and it expects excavator B to be useful for six more years and have a residual value of $16,000 at that time. Due to the different characteristics of the two excavators, different depreciation methods will be used for them: excavator A will be depreciated using the double-diminishing-balance method and excavator B using the straight-line method.
