    Hi,

    subsequent to second revaluation, Dec 31, 20x7, the closing balance of Accumulated Depreciation should have been $150,000 (75+75), therefore, NBV of PPE was $975k.

    That been said, and with reference to your explantion of closing balances of accounts affected after second revaluation, where which the PPE shall be reported at $ 600,000 as a net book value, what would the gross Net Book value and Accumulated Depreciation?

    Many thanks,
    Mirza

    At 31/2007 do we also debit revaluation surplus for 25 and credit retained earning for 25? If so, why oic is not 350?

    Thanks in advance

    Hi
    what is the use of General Reserve account?


    When an asset has been impaired can we charge the impaired loss to general reserve before taking the balance to profit or loss statement?

    hi Sir,
    thank you so much for teaching us i just have one question, why did we deduct 325 as impairment ( OCI ) ? we already used that from the surplus which cancels it off and remaining 50 as impairment why did we deduct 325 from OCI?
  7. Irfan
    325 was already in OCI from previous revaluation and subsequent transfer of excess depreciation, at the start of year 20x7, so to net it off at the end of year we first set of 325 of Impairment to OCI and remaining to SPL
  8. sarrah006
    okay thanks
    i didnt know oci carrys balance as well because i thought even oci is yearly basis

    Hi

    Can we not show Impairment at Nil in Other comprehensive income as we had 325 income and Loss of 325 in current year.

    Will this be incorrect representation

    Hi,
    Why we didn't put on SFP revaluation surplus?
  14. Alexandra
    Hello
    Just to be sure ... so here the « revaluation surplus » will be 0 right ?
    Thanks

    From where that 50 came in depreciation?
  16. Irfan
    it is the depreciation amount that would have been charged had the asset had not been revalued.
    depreciation= 1000/20
    50 per annum

    Sir, could you please upload a video on 'Reversal of Impairment' as well?

    Do we have to transfer excess depreciation to retained earnings every year?
  19. P2-D2Tutor
    We aren't obliged to do so but it is best practice.
  20. Hrithik
    The depreciation charge for the year that was recorded in the Statement of Profit or Loss for the year ended 31st Dec 20x7 should have been 50,000 rather than 75,000. The company wishes to transfer the excess depreciation charge to retained earnings directly from the revaluation surplus reserve.
  21. shafiuahmad
    The sentence below wasn't use in the solution:
    The company opts to transfer any excess depreciation on the revalued amount to retained earnings.
    I think the 25, 25 excess will not be charged from the surplus. Pls I need more light on that.

    Thank you
  22. MikeLittleTutor
    It's an optional transfer but generally considered to be 'best practice'

    OK?
  23. joelsasi
