    Hello ,
    In the below question when i take the four column approach my reserve in OCI is coming to 50000 but in the solution they have debited asset with 45000?
    Can you tell how to solve this question using the four column approach?

    When Ira Vann commenced trading as a car hire dealer on 1 January 20X1, he purchased business
    premises at a cost of $50,000.
    For the purpose of accounting for depreciation, he decided the following.
    (a) The land part of the business premises was worth $20,000; this would not be depreciated.
    (b) The building part of the business premises was worth the remaining $30,000. This would be
    depreciated by the straight line method to a nil residual value over 30 years.

    After five years of trading, on 1 January 20X6 Ira decides that his business premises are now
    worth $150,000, divided into:
    $
    Land 75,000
    Building 75,000
    150,000

    He estimates that the building still has a further 25 years’ useful life remaining.
    Required

    (a) Calculate the annual charge for depreciation for the first five years of the building’s life and
    the statement of financial position value of the land and building as at the end of each of
    the first five years.
    (b) Demonstrate the impact the revaluation will have on the depreciation charge and the
    statement of financial position value of the land and building.

    Hi,

    If you show me what you’ve calculated then I’ll show you where you are going wrong.

    Thanks

    Narration Historic cost Revaluation Reserve

    For building

    Cost (1Jan20x1) 30000
    Less- Accumulated dep
    (30000/30)*5 (5000)

    Cost (1Jan20x6) 25000 75000 50000

    Dep (75000/25) (1000) (3000) (2000)

    72000 48000
    Is this correct ??
    The accounting entry in the solution is

    Debit Building – Cost ( 75000 – 30000) 45000
    Building – Accumulated dep 5000
    Land – Cost 55000
    Credit Revaluation surplus 105000

    I am getting confused in the building part like i am getting 50000 on the reserve?
    Please help me clear my doubt

    Thank you

    Hi,

    You’ve done it all correctly. The revaluation on the building is 50,000 but then you’re forgetting to add the revaluation of the land to this figure to get the 110,000.

    The land was at cots of 20,000 and is not valued at 75,000, hence an increase of 55,000. If you add on the 55,000 to the 50,000 then you get the full 110,000.

    Thanks
