Disposal

Disposal is any activities necessary to dispose of decommissioned assets.

Costs of Disposal

Costs of disposal are incremental costs directly attributable to the disposal of an asset, excluding finance costs and income tax expense.

The cost of disposing of an asset is sometimes included in the replacement cost of an asset built in its place. Where no new asset is constructed this is obviously impossible and the only obvious alternative is to expense the disposal cost.
