Depreciation / Revaluation - Single Company / Consolidated statements

OOlga9y ago
Hi Mike, Can you please explain why we calculate depreciation on the full revalued amount when we prepare financial statements for a single company, and only on the fair value adjustments (difference between carrying amount and fair value) in the questions for consolidated financial statements? Shall I take it that it is just the way the questions and tasks have been constructed? Many thanks, Olga

No, it's because the original pre-fair-valued adjustment carrying value will have been depreciated in the 'normal' way within the entity's records
