Can anyone explain me the logic of making a transfer of the excess depreciation from revaluation surplus to retained earnings
I dont get this whole thingJune 5, 2023 at 2:38 pm #686058It’s to essentially make the situation fairer. If an entity revalues an asset then more depreciation will be charged than if it hadn’t revalued. It’s profitability would look worse than if it hadn’t revalued. Making the transfer from revaluation surplus corrects this problem.
