hi there Im really confused on the revaluation example notes and example on page 34 of the study texts.
It says that with a revaluation the surplus goes to Other comprehensive income (P/L therefore) but then the asset transfer shows the surplus going to Revaluation Surplus,
Statement of profit or loss and OCI has two parts: 1. P or L: The total for each year is accumulated in retained earnings (“accumulated profit”) in the Statement of changes in equity (Socie) 2. OCI: The amount of each item for the year, e.g. revaluation gain, is accumulated in a separate column in the Socie – e.g. revaluation surplus.
A revaluation surplus is included in equity “via OCI”.
