    Hi, I just need some clarification please.

    What is the journal entries (with figures) for a revaluation decrease of an asset? Using this example perhaps

    Cost of asset on purchase date ie 1/1/10 = $12M
    Deprecated over 10 yrs, no residual value, straight line basis
    The asset was revalued on 31/12/11 to $13M and revalued again to $8M on 31/12/12

    I know how to record the revaluation surplus and what figures to use and also how to record the revaluation decrease ( DR. OCI , DR. P+ L , CR. PPE) but I’m not sure of what figures to use.

    $2,975 million debited to Revaluation Reserve

    $0,400 million debited to SoPL

    $3,375 million credited to TNCA

    OK

    I don’t think so! I know how I arrived at my figures – how did you arrive at $3,556?

    The first revaluation is after two years, not one

    Use your fingers!
