Help with this:

In December 2027, one of TEIs waste management trucks overturned during a snowstorm as it turned into the hazardous waste site. Unfortunately, the truck was fully loaded with cooked muck and sludge, and thousands of litres of this material leaked into the ditch, contaminating a twenty acre field adjacent to the waste site. TEI has been ordered to decontaminate the field and an environmental fine is pending. The engineers estimate it will cost $45,000 to clean the field. Management is negotiating with the adjacent landowner and expects to pay $30,000 cash in addition to the cleanup costs, to compensate him for the accident, and to avoid a lawsuit. The environmental fine could range anywhere from $5,000 to $50,000 according to the regulations. How would you advise TEI to account for the costs related to the accident?
