On January 1, 2020, the City of Hastings creates a solid waste landfill that it expects to reach capacity gradually over the next 20 years. If the landfill were to be closed at the current time, closure costs would be approximately $1.88 million plus an additional $750,000 for postclosure work. Of these totals, the city must pay $63,500 on December 31 of each year for preliminary closure work. At the end of 2020, the landfill reaches 3 percent of capacity. At the end of 2021, the landfill reaches 11 percent of capacity. At the end of 2021, a reassessment is made. Experts determine total closure costs will be $2.08 million rather than $1.88 million. a.
