I believe the depreciation charged would reduce the carrying amount, so maybe the proceeds could be $95 million if we consider how much was depreciated before the sale.

If the plant cost $100 million and we lost $20 million, does that mean the proceeds are $80 million? I’m a bit confused about the depreciation part.

I remember a similar question where we had to calculate proceeds after considering depreciation. I think we need to factor that in here too.

I think the loss on the sale of the plant was $20 million, but I'm not sure how that affects the proceeds.

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'll need to think through the relationship between the objects and how the access is currently set up.
