If a provider replaces a retired asset, any gain or loss on retirement must be deducted from or added to the cost of the replacement asset, respectively. However, a loss on retirement can only be added to the replacement asset's cost if the provider makes a reasonable effort to recover at least the outstanding book value of the retired asset.
