Dizzy Cats,.. Wouldn't the double entry be like: Dr: Building 1,200,000 Dr: Accumulated Dep 600,000 Cr: Revaluation Reserve 1,800,000 Revaluation gain amount of 1,800,000 is arrived by deducting the revalued amount of 3,600.000 from NBV of 1,800,000 = 1,800,000 Revaluation gain. It can also be calculated as 3,600,000 - 2,400,000 (being the cost difference) plus the accumulated depreciation of 600,000 = 1,800,000 Debiting the Asset account with 1,800,000 would increase the asset balance to 2,400,000 + 1,800,000 = 4,200,000 and I believe that is wrong!
