    The following is an extract from the draft trial balance of Gibraltar Co as at 31 October 20X3:

    $

    Land – carrying amount at 31 October 20X3

    800,000

    Buildings – carrying amount at 31 October 20X3

    476,000

    Investments – fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

    178,400

    Investments – fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)

    120,000

    Share capital at 1 November 20X2

    900,000

    Share premium at 1 November 20X2

    500,000

    Revaluation surplus (Investments) at 1 November 20X2

    32,514

    Retained earnings at 1 November 20X2

    436,607

    Revenue

    3,765,505

    Cost of sales

    2,446,577

    Distribution costs

    116,166

    Administrative expenses

    127,713

    Other income

    15,151

    Income tax expense for the year ended 31 October 20X3

    428,000

    This note is relevant:
    (3)
    During the year ended 31 October 20X3, one of the FVTPL investments which had a carrying amount of $62,000 was sold for $59,000. The proceeds have been deducted from the year-end balance of these investments, however, any gain or loss on disposal should have been recorded in administrative expenses. The remaining investments in this classification had a fair value of $184,300 at 31 October 20X3 which still needs to be recognised. Any gain or loss on revaluation should be recorded in other income.

    But the answer says:
    “We must then perform a valuation on the remaining investments classified as
    FVTPL. The fair value gain at 31 October 20X3 is $8,900 ($184,300 – [$178,400
    – $3,000]):
    Dr Investments – FVTPL 8,900
    Cr Finance/Investment income 8,900
    being year-end valuation on remaining financial instruments classified as FVTPL”

    By the way, the answer also moved the other income’s OB of 15,151 to Finanance/Investment income account to finalize the Finance/Investment income item on PL at 21,051.

    so, why was the note stated that “Any gain or loss on revaluation should be recorded in other income”.

    Hi,

    FVTPL gains/losses go through profit or loss and as it is a gain in this instance it has been taken through finance income.

    Thanks

    so it effectively makes the “Any gain or loss on revaluation should be recorded in other income” meaningless?

    Sorry, I should have said other income to link to the specifics of the question. As long as it goes through some form of finance/other income then that is appropriate.

    Thanks
