Where the effect of the time value of money is material,provisions are determined at the present value of the expected future cash flows.Where some or all of the expenditures required to settle a provision are expected to be reimbursed byanother party, the reimbursement shall be recognized when, and only when, it is virtually certain thatreimbursement will be received if the entity settles the obligation.
