    I posted this question before,but I still got some questions.

    Cost Model

    On 1 Jan 2011, the information of an equipment is given as below:
    Equipment cost: $400,000
    Estimated useful life: 10 years
    Residual value: $40,000

    On 1 Jan 2015, the information of the equipment is revised as below:
    Remaining useful life: 5 years from 1 January 2015 Residual value: $46,000

    31 Dec 2011,2012,2013,2014
    Dr. Depreciation ($400,000 – $40,000) ÷ 10 $36,000
    Cr. Accumulated depreciation $36,000
    On 1 Jan 2015
    – Carrying amount = $400,000 – ($36,000 × 4) = $256,000

    Revised annual depreciation
    = ($256,000 – $46,000) ÷ 5 = $42,000

    31 Dec 2015
    Dr. Depreciation $42,000
    Cr. Accumulated depreciation $42,000

    If I add an impairment loss, says the recoverable amount on 31 Dec 2015 is $114,000

    Carrying amount on 31 Dec 2015
    ($256,000-42,000)=$214,000

    31 Dec 2015
    Dr. Accumulated depreciation $42,000
    Cr. PPE $42,000
    Dr. Impairment Loss (214-114) $100,000
    Cr. PPE $100,000

    If in the next 2 years continue recoverable amount on 31 Dec 2017 becomes $280,000

    The carrying amount on 31 Dec 2017 is it ($256,000-(42,000×2)-100,000(since the impairment loss becomes accumulated impairment loss?)= $72,000

    Then RA>CA

    31 Dec 2017
    Dr. Depreciation $42,000
    Cr. Accumulated dep $42,000
    Dr. Accumulated depreciation $84,000
    Dr. PPE $124,000
    Cr. reversal of impairment loss $208,000

    Is it like this?
    Besides, I would like to know why need to dr. acc. Dep when impairment loss occurred?

    If this change to Revaluation Model

    On 1 Jan 2011, the information of an equipment is given as below:
    Equipment cost: $400,000
    Estimated useful life: 10 years
    Residual value: $40,000

    31 Dec 2013 revalued to $312,000

    31 Dec 2011,2012,2013
    Dr. Depreciation ($400,000 – $40,000) / 10 $36,000
    Cr. Accumulated depreciation $36,000

    31 Dec 2013 carrying amount= $400,000 – ($36,000 x 3) = $292,000
    Dr. Accumulated depreciation ($36,000 x 3) $108,000
    Cr. PPE $108,000
    Dr PPE ( $312,000- $292,000) $20,000
    Cr Revaluation Surplus $20,000

    If the equipment is also revised as below:
    Remaining useful life: 5 years from 1 January 2014 Residual value: $46,000

    is it use the fair value as a new cost?
    Annual depreciation = ($312,000- $46,000)/5 =$53,200

    31 Dec 2014, 2015, 2016
    Dr. Depreciation $53,200
    Cr. Accumulated Depreciation $53,200

    31 Dec 2016 carrying amount=($312,000-($53,200×3))=$152,400

    31 Dec 2016 revalued to $52,400

    31 Dec 2016
    Dr. Accumulated depreciation ($53,200×3) $159,600
    Cr. PPE $159,600
    Dr. Reversal of revaluation surplus $20,000
    Dr Revaluation Deficit ( $152,400- $52,400-$20,000) $80,000
    Cr PPE $80,000

    I have correct entry on 31 Dec 2016. Is this what you mean?

    Also, I got a question on which situations we need to make the entry about revaluation surplus realised?

    Do we need to do this when residual value of lifetime changed?

    Why do you not simply compare your answer with the printed solution? And then ask me why the solution has done ‘x’ and you thought that it should be ‘y’

    Unless this is a question of your own making … in which case, why am I doing all this? I have answered your extensive question from yesterday and now you’re facing me with yet another

    Answer these little questions of mine first an then, dependent upon your response, we can go further

    OK?
