Practice test :
In 20X6 31 december,revaluation surplus is 440000$ but excess depreciation is 25000$,
Test ask :
After 2 years,what is on the balance of revaluation surplus
I should solve so:
Revaluation surplus-excess depreciation of 2 years
??February 26, 2018 at 7:56 am #438972There must be more in the question than you have copied – what you have typed is not enough to be able to answer.
February 26, 2018 at 8:43 am #439001It is true that the question(revision kit -page 42-question 8.19)ask what is the balance on revaluation surplus after 1 year
and the solution way :
=Revaluation-excess depreciation of one year
And the answer was correct
But now,my question is that
If the question asked balance on revaluation surplus after 2 years,
What would be the balance on revaluation surplus.
=revaluation surplus-excess depreciation of 2 years?
??February 26, 2018 at 3:56 pm #439026Yes – if it asked for the balance after 2 more years, then yes, what you have written would be correct.
