Sir, my answer was not matching in this Q. Let me show you .
Q—> On 31 January 2018 westvale company disposed of a building for $450,000. the building was accounted for using the valuation model. At the date of disposal, after the deduction of accumulated appreciation of 90,000, the building had a carrying value of $310,000 it had a revelation surplus in equity of 30,000.
What was the westvale’s profit on disposal of building for inclusion in statement of profit and loss for the year ended 31 December 2018 ?
How I solved —> profit = Proceeds – Carrying value .
Profit = 450,000 – 310,000 = 140,000
But the answer on exam kit is – 50,000 . I don’t understand why. There is no explanation
I do not understand why either 🙂
Must be an error
It does seem so 🙂
