    Dear tutor,
    I am struggling with this question as the answer to equity amount is different from what I understand.

    (b) Adjustments to retained earnings $’000
    Draft retained earnings 7,350
    Profit on disposal
    (=$2,500,000 – ($4,000,000 – $2,000,000)) 500
    Depreciation – factories -3,260
    Depreciation – office building -625
    Impairment -2,875
    Depreciation – office building -700
    390

    The depreciation charge on the revalued asset will be different to the depreciation that would have been charged based on the historical cost of the asset. As a result of this, IAS 16 permits a transfer to be made of an amount equal to ‘the excess depreciation’ from the revaluation surplus to retained earnings.
    But the above workings just transferred all the depreciations charged for both building and factories.

    How may I understand the workings that concluded in $390 of equity value?

    Hi,

    Yes, that is a good point. Technically you could include the reserve transfer, which would add to the retained earnings figure.

    Thanks
