Hi,
As the asset cost 12,000 and is depreciated over 20 years then the annual depreciation charge is 600 (12,000 / 20). As the accumulated depreciation is 3,600 at the start of the year then there must have bee 6 years of depreciation charged, leaving 14 out of the 20 years left.
As the revaluation took place 6 months into the current year, there are then 13.5 years left.
Hope that clears it up.
Thanks
