    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.

    A:
    Journal entries for the year ended 31 Dec X1:
    Dr Property, Plant & Equipment $30m (SFP)
    Cr Revaluation Reserve $30m (SFP)

    Extract of Statement of Profit or Loss & Other Comprehensive Income for the year ended 31 Dec X1:
    Other Comprehensive Income:
    Revaluation Gain $30m

    Journal entries for the year ended 31 Dec X2:
    Dr Revaluation Reserve $30m (SFP)
    Dr Revaluation loss $10m (SPL)
    Cr Property, Plant & Equipment $40m (SFP)

    Extract of Statement of Profit or Loss & Other Comprehensive Income for the year ended 31 Dec X2:
    Operating Expense:
    Revaluation loss $10m

    Other Comprehensive Income:
    Revaluation loss $30m

    Journal entries for the year ended 31 Dec X3:
    Dr Property, Plant & Equipment $60m (SFP)
    Cr Revaluation Gain $10m (SPL)
    Cr Revaluation Reserve $50m (SFP)

    Extract of Statement of Profit or Loss & Other Comprehensive Income for the year ended 31 Dec X3:
    Income:
    Revaluation Gain $10m

    Other Comprehensive Income:
    Revaluation Gain $50m

    You 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.)

    Hi 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.

    Kaplan shouldn’t really ask a question like this.
    However there is no harm – it is better knowing more than less 🙂
