    Is that the same as the printed solution? If it is, then it’s ok!

    No it’s not exactly – but the bottom line answer is the same. Instead I have ventured to do a Revaluation Reserve calculation to be included in the CSoFP – but my number is negative (32,000). Can one have a negative Revaluation Reserve number in the CSoFP? I know you said not to pursue this route, but I would be very interested if my approach is correct!!

    No, you cannot have a negative revaluation reserve! What would you do with it? Depreciate it?

    I don’t see where your 32,000 has come from. And is it negative?

    Revaluation Reserve

    Inventory (all used) – 0
    NDNCA – 15,000
    DNCA (30-6-6) – 18,000
    Total – 33,000
    -Pre acq. – (65,000)
    therefore post acq. revaluation reserve – (32,000)

    Ah!!! No, no, no. Have you followed the video which explains it?

    Are you referring to the video w.r.t this question? If so, then I have missed the point somewhere along the way. I have currently watched all video w.r.t. chapters 1-8.

    OK, don’t even think about opening a revaluation reserve. Put all your fair value adjustments through Retained Earnings.

    Now try the question again
