Answer / kafeel
Revaluaton Entry for Fixed assets affects two aspects :
1. Fixed Assets (Debit )
2. Reserve on revaluation on fixed assets.(on face of
liability side of Balance sheet) (credit)
Important Points
1) The increase in value of fixed assets because of
revaluation of fixed assets is credited to ‘Revaluation
Reserve’, and is not available for distribution as
dividend. Revaluation Reserve is treated as a Capital
Reserve.
2) The increase in depreciation arising out of revaluation
of fixed assets is debited to depreciation expense.
4) When any asset, which is revalued, is sold, the part of
loss resulting due to revaluation is debited to
the ‘Revaluation Reserve’.
5) When assets are revalued, every Balance Sheet shall show
for a specified period of years, the amount of increase /
decrease made in respect of each class of assets.
Similarly, the increased / decreased value shall be shown
in place of the original cost.
6) In case of assets such as land and buildings,
revaluation is desirable as their value increases over time
and is carried out every 3 to 5 years. In case of plant &
machinery, revaluation is carried out only if there is a
strong case for it. In case of assets such as vehicles,
furniture & fittings, office equipments etc., revaluation
is not carried out.
7) Revaluation should not result in the net book value of
an asset exceeding its recoverable value.
8) Revaluation does not mean only an upward revision in the
book values of the asset. It can also mean a downward
revision (also called impairment) in the book values of the
assets. However, any downward revision in the book values
of the assets is immediately written off to the Profit &
Loss account.
9) On upward revaluation of a fixed asset, which has been
previously subject to downward revaluation, the amount of
upward revaluation as is equal to the amount expensed
previously is credited to the Profit & Loss a/c.
