    Dear tutor
    This doubt is related to the question in the lecture itself
    when we revalue upwards we transfer the accumulated depreciation to the revaluation account to bring The Asset a/c back to its historical cost and then adjust it through the revaluation account so when we revalue downward in the lecture why don’t ‘t we transfer the accumulated depreciation of 1750 to the revaluation a/c if we do so then we can directly Cr 6000 in the asset a/c and show the balance as 8000 (14000-6000). it’s like I don’t really understand because every time I do upward revaluation I always transfer the depreciation to revaluation a/c and adjust the cost could you please explain where I’m going wrong, do note that I try to solve ppe adjustments through T accounts instead of statements also can u kindly mention what impairment means.
    and in the case of impairment in oci of the $3850 since it is already adjusted From the revaluation a/c and the asset a/c why are we mentioning it again in the oci since there is no double entry for it

    Hi,

    An impairment is a reduction in the value of an asset. I think you are making your life more complicated by doing this all through T-accounts. Any impairment goes through profit or loss, unless it has been previously revalued when it goes through the revaluation surplus. We do not make the adjustment through accumulated depreciation, even though this account will have been initially adjusted when the revaluation was made.

    Thanks
