Say there’s an asset of 31 Dec,X5 $10000 having useful life of 5 years . On 31 Dec,X7 it was revalued to 12000 with remaining life of 3 years. And Co. has policy of transferring excess dep. to Ret. Earnings.
For year ended 31 Dec, X8 , the depreciation charged will be $4000 and tranfer to ret. earn. from reval. surplus will be $2000.
So, the journal entries will be :
P/L Dr. 4000
To Dep. 4000
Reval. Surplus Dr. 2000
To Ret. Earnings. 2000
Am I right ?
Hi,
Yes, you will find that your numbers and entries above are correct. You have recorded the new depreciation on the revalued amount over the remaining life of 3 years. You have then transferred the excess depreciation as a reserve transfer in the SOCIE.
Top work!
Thanks
