On January $1,2023,$ Bramble Corporation erected a drilling platform at a cost of $$4,750,200.$ Bramble is legally

required to dismantle and remove the platform at the end of its $6$ year useful life, at an estimated cost of $$826,500.$

Bramble estimates that $70\%$ of the cost of dismantling and removing the platform is caused by acquiring the asset itself,

and that the remaining $30\%$ of the cost is caused by using the platform in production. The present value of the increase

in asset retirement obligation related to the production of oil in $2023$ and $2024$ was $$28,125$ and $$30,375,$

respectively. The estimated residual value of the drilling platform is zero, and Bramble uses straight$-$line depreciation.

Bramble prepares financial statements in accordance with IFRS.
