Hi Chris,
Thank you for your lecture series on F1. I was working out an example from my course book and am struggling out here. Please guide.
Q. An entity purchased a property 15 years ago at a cost of $100,000 and has depreciated it at a rate of 2% per annum ,using straight line basis. The entity had the property professionally valued at $ 500,000.
What is the revaluation surplus that would be recorded in the financial statements in respect of this property.
My working
Historic cost -100,000
Depreciation - 2% @15 years- 2000*15=30,000
Revaluation -500000.
So carrying value has moved from (100,000-30,000)=70,000 to 500,000 hence difference is 430,000 to OCI hence the journal entry would be
Dr. Asset- 400,000 (500K$-100K$)
Dr. Accumulated depreciation 30,000
Cr. Revaluation surplus 430,000
The answer in the textbook is 530,000. Please help.

Hi Chris,
Thank you for your help and revert. I am using kaplan Study text F1 and this question is from Test your understanding 6 and Q1.
Thank you

I think the answer for the first question should be the one that is given in answer number 2. Ignore the answer for Q1 where it says C and look at the one for Q2, where you will see that you are correct.
Thanks
