Hi Sir,
Here’s my question:
X bought an asset on 1 Jan 20X6 for $10,000. Useful life: 5yrs.
1 Jan 20X8, asset was revalued to $12,000. Useful life unchanged.
Accounting for revaluation and depreciation for 20X8 onwards:
On 1 Jan 20X8
Dr Asset (12000-10000) 2000
Dr Accumulated Depreciation (10,000*2/5) 4000
Cr Revaluation Surplus 6000
At end of 20X8,
Dr Revaluation Surplus ([12000/3]-[10000/5]) 2000
Dr Retained Earnings (10000/5) 2000
Cr Accumulated Depreciation (12,000/[5-2]) 4000
Please let me know if the second part ( End of 20X8 ) was rightly accounted.
Issen
I believe that you should Dr Income Statement with 4,000 and Credit Accum depn 4,000
And then transfer from Revaluation Reserve to Retained Earnings the 2,000 through the Statement of Changes in Equity
