 Thank you for the lectures however while I was solving question from Kaplan exam kit, I came across this questionSmithson Co purchased a new building with a 50-year life for $10 million on 1 January 20X3. 
 On 30 June 20X5, Smithson Co moved out of the building and rented it out to third parties
 on a short-term lease. Smithson Co uses the fair value model for investment properties.
 At 30 June 20X5 the fair value of the property was $11 million and at 31 December 20X5 it
 was $11.5 million.The question I have is…. While I used 2yrs 6mnths (1 Jan 20×3 – 30 June 20×5) for my depreciation (accumulated depreciation )….. They just used 6 months for their depreciation. Why did they use just 6 months. Thank you July 23, 2020 at 8:34 pm #577788Hi, I presume that this is the depreciation on the asset from the start of the year to when the change in use occurred, which would appear in the SPL.
