Crinkle Co bought an asset for $10,000 at the beginning of 20×6. It had a useful life of five years. On 1 January 20×8 the asset was revalued at $12,000. The expected useful life has remained unchanged (ie three years remaining )
Account for the revaluation and state the treatment for depreciation from 20×8 onwards.
Solution
On 1 January 20×8 the carrying value of the asset is $10,000 – ( 2 x $10,000 / 5) =$6,000
I don’t understand why it’s (2 x $10,000)
Please could somebody help ? Thank you

The depreciation expense per annum is $2,000 ($10,000/5yrs).
The accumulated depreciation from 20×6 to 1 Jan 20×8 (2 years) is $4,000.
Therefore the carrying value is $6,000 ($10,000-$4,000).
Hope this helps.
