Dear Chris,
How are you?
I hope you are safe and well,
First of all I would like to thank you for your appreciated effort and informative replies,
In case of the impairment loss due to the revaluation as the example you presented in your nice lecture as per my understanding in case of impairment loss due to revaluation decrease we have to credit the accumulated depreciation and debit the impairment loss and as per the standard we have to deduct the amount in the revaluation reserve and the balancing amount should go directly to Profit or loss statement.
My question is the following entry is correct to get recognize the impairment loss due to the revaluation decrease.
Dr impairment loss (SPL)Balancing figure $550
Dr revaluation Surplus (SFP) $3850
Cr Accumulated depreciation (SFP) $4250
What you did in your informative lecture is the following,
Dr Impairment loss SPL (balancing figure) $550
Dr Impairment loss (OCI) $3850
Cr Accumulated depreciation $4250
in case of my journal entry is wrong
First, shall i create two different accounts for the impairment in my chart of accounts?
I mean one for the income statement and the other for the other comprehensive income.Thank you in advance.
July 14, 2021 at 8:59 pm #627775Sorry! I must have missed this post, apologies. What you have done is fine with the entry, as you are taking some of the loss through the revaluation surplus and the rest through profit or loss. I’m just trying to highlight the impairment loss itself and where it is being split between OCI and P or L.
Glad you are appreciating the responses, keep up the excellent work and you’ll do very well in the exam.
Thanks
July 15, 2021 at 2:25 pm #627851Revaluation losses are recognised in the income statement. The only exception to this rule is where a revaluation surplus exists relating to a previous revaluation of that asset. To that extent, a revaluation loss can be recognised in equity.
July 27, 2021 at 3:02 am #629524You said sir, that my entry is fine, which is mentioned above.
So what is going to be the presentation of statement of financial position and profit or loss statement in that case?Thank you in advance.
July 28, 2021 at 10:38 pm #629719Try it out yourself and then I can correct any errors, if at all you make any.
Thanks
July 30, 2021 at 8:31 pm #629881Dear Chris,
I hope you are safe and well,
First of all I would like to thank you for your appreciated effort and informative lecture,
in regards to revaluation loss, I am going to present example 2 and its solution of the financial statement.
Could you correct any error of the following entries and the presentation of the financial statement,please?
Given information.
On 01.01.2013
PPE=$12000
Residual value =0
Expected useful life =10 Yrs,
31.12.2014
The asset was revalued at its fair value to be $14000
On 31.12.2015
The asset was revalued at its fair value to be $8000
Required the financial statement for the year ended 31.12.2015
Solution
Assets carrying value before the first revaluation as follow
=the original value less the accumulated depreciation.
Accumulated depreciation =(12000/10yrs) x 2yrs
= $2400
Then the carrying value = 12000-24000=9600
On 31.12.2014 at the date of revaluation
Gain of revaluation = $14000-$9600
=$4400
Cr:Gain on revaluation (OCI) $4400
Dr:Accumulated depreciation(SFP) 2400
Dr: P.P.E SFP (balancing figure) 2000
The depreciation Expense for the year of 2015
Annual depreciation expense =(14000/8yrs)
=1750
Dr Depreciation expense (SPL) $1750
Cr Accumulated Depreciation (SFP) $1750by the end of the year gain on revaluation account is going to be closed to Revaluation surplus account in the equity section through the following entry
Dr Gain on revaluation (OCI) $4400
Cr Retained earnings (SFP) $4400
At the end of the year we should increase the profit of the year through the retained earning account due to the excess depreciation expense charged to the profit or loss account due to the increase in the value of the PPE due to the revaluation surplus
Then, Excess depreciation =$1750-1200=550
Dr revaluation reserves 550
Cr Retained earnings 550
The financial position before the 2nd revaluation AT 31.12.2015
**Statement of the financial position
PPE(NCA) 12250
Revaluation Reserves(Equity section) 3850
**Statement of the profit or loss
Depreciation expense(SPL) 1750
Gain on revaluation (OCI) 4400
At the date of the 2nd revaluation On 31.12.2015
the value of the PPE was fallen to 8000
Impairment loss =$12250-8000=4250
Cr Accumulated depreciation (SFP) 4250
Dr Revaluation Reserves (SFP) 3850
Dr Impairment loss (balancing figure) $400
The presentation of the financial statement after the second revaluation n 31.12.2015
**Statement of the financial position
PPE $8000
Revaluation Reserves $0
**Statement of the profit or loss
Depreciation expense $1750
Impairment loss $400Could you sir check out the presentation of the financial statement at 31.12.2015 and tell me the errors, please?
Sorry for the long question and your time,
Thank you so much.August 1, 2021 at 9:58 am #630016Wow! That looks perfect, well done. You’ve fully understood how to do the impairment of a previously revalued asset.
Thanks
August 21, 2021 at 8:26 pm #632458Dear Chris,
I hope you are safe and well,
Regarding the impairment loss that you have mentioned in your informative lecture in the 2nd revaluation process in the Statement of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income as per my entry above in the last comment I have just mentioned one impairment which is recognized in the profit or loss $400 at 31.12.2015.
and I have deducted the amount of the revaluation surplus but I want to say shall I do recognize first the total amount of the impairment loss in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and then close the impairment loss in the revaluation surplus as follow,Cr Accumulated depreciation $4400
Dr Impairment loss(OCI) $3850
Dr Impairment loss (SPL)balancing figure $400
and in this case we are going to create a new account in the chart of account regarding the impairment loss and must be classified as OCI account.
so we have two account regarding the impairment loss the first one Is classified normally under the profit or loss and the second impairment loss is classified under OCI.
and just such like the revaluation gain by the end of the year should be closed in the revaluation surplus account in the equity section of the balance sheet.
Dr Revaluation Surplus (SFP) $3850
Cr Impairment loss (OCI) $3850Could you check out my work out?
if am I wrong or right, because I have doubt about to recognise the impairment loss in the statement in the profit or loss and OCI first then close such amount In the revaluation surplus account at the end of the year.Thank you in advance.
August 29, 2021 at 11:01 am #633348Hi,
Do you not have a model answer that you can compare your workings to? This should help you identify if you are correct or not.
Thanks
June 8, 2023 at 6:29 pm #686563Hello Sir,
Please what is the double entry to record a revaluation loss which is more than prior year gain. Eg. prior year gain is $1000 and current year loss is $1500June 19, 2023 at 7:15 pm #687251Hi,
DR OCI $1,000 (removing the prior year gain)
DR SPL $500 (remainder of the loss posted through profit or loss)
CR Asset $1,500Hope that helps.
Thanks
