Hi Tutor,
Please advise if the accounting treatment below are ok.
Q: ABC Co bought a property for $100m on 1 Jan X1. On 31 Jan X1, because of a property boom, the value of this property had increased to $130m. On 31 Dec X2, the property market crashed because of a world-wide economic recession and the property is now worth only $90m. However, by 31 Dec X3, the economy had recovered strongly and the value of the property had risen to $150m. Show the entries in the books of ABC Co. assuming that the company has a 31 Dec year end.

Revaluation Gain $50mAugust 16, 2015 at 5:21 pm #267422You will not be asked revaluation losses in F3.
Otherwise it is OK (except that you cannot be asked a question like this in the F3 exam, asking you to show the journal entries. There is very little testing of debits and credits in the exam.)
August 17, 2015 at 3:26 am #267458Hi John,
Thank you. I found this question in the Kaplan F3 lecture notes for Dec 2014/Jun 2015, hence I thought this was part of F3 syllabus. I will move this to F7 forum.
August 17, 2015 at 7:48 am #267471Kaplan shouldn’t really ask a question like this.
However there is no harm – it is better knowing more than less 🙂 - AuthorPosts
