relatively low because the asset is new. Whereas in later periods, as the asset become old, repairs

useful life of the asset.

Answer 3 (a)

(a) Fair Value : ₹ 37,00,000

Since this is an upward revaluation and the group had a balance in revaluation surplus (i.e. there was
an upward movement earlier), hence this will result in an additional credit of ₹ 2,00,000 to
Revaluation Surplus and hence the total Revaluation Surplus balance (part of other
comprehensive income in Equity) shall increase to ₹ 5,00,000. The Accounting journal entry shall be:
Property, Plant & Equipment A/c Dr 2,00,000
To Revaluation Surplus A/c 2,00,000
(b) Fair Value : ₹ 33,00,000
Since this is a downward revaluation and the group had a balance in revaluation surplus (i.e. there was
an upward movement earlier), hence this will result in a reduction or a debit to Revaluation Surplus to
the extent of balance therein and any excess shall be debited to Profit & Loss A/c. In this case, there
is a reduction in fair value of ₹ 2,00,000 (35,00,000 – 33,00,000) and hence the entire amount shall be
debited to Revaluation Surplus. Hence, the total Revaluation Surplus balance (part of other
comprehensive income in Equity) shall decrease to ₹ 1,00,000. The Accounting journal entry shall be:
Revaluation Surplus A/c Dr 2,00,000
To Property, Plant & Equipment A/c 2,00,000
(c) Fair Value : ₹ 31,00,000
Since this is also a downward revaluation and the group had a balance in revaluation surplus (i.e. there
was an upward movement earlier), hence this will result in a reduction or a debit to Revaluation Surplus to
the extent of balance therein and any excess shall be debited to Profit & Loss A/c. In this case, there is a
reduction in fair value of ₹ 4,00,000 (35,00,000 – 31,00,000) and hence the Revaluation Surplus A/c
shall be debited by ₹ 3,00,000 and the balance ₹ 1,00,000 shall be debited to Profit & Loss A/c.
Hence, the total Revaluation Surplus balance (part of other comprehensive income in Equity) shall
become Nil. The Accounting journal entry shall be:
