Answer 1
Determination of carrying value of property, plant and equipment as per cost model
As per cost model the carrying value of property, plant and equipment in the financial
statement is recorded at cost reduced by accumulated impairment loss and accumulated
depreciation (Liang & Riedl, 2013).
Answer 2
Fair value of asset
Fair value of asset is the price that is received from selling of an asset or the amount
paid for transferring the liability with respect to orderly transaction among market
participants on specific date, particularly for using under financial statements over the period
of time (Altamuro & Zhang, 2013).
Answer 3
Journal entries provided in books by Valdivia Company were not correct and
therefore required to be rectified. Amount of accumulated depreciation will be as follows –
Accumulated depreciation =
Original cost- Residual Value = 55000-5000 = 10000 * 3 = $ 30000
Useful life of the asset 5
Further, the revaluation loss will be = $ 55,000 - $ 30,000 - $ 16,000 = $ 9,000
Therefore, the 1st entry as instead of $ 33,000, the equipment shall be debited with $
30,000 and accumulated depreciation shall be credited with the same amount for cancelling
the effect. Further, for the year ended July, 2018 no depreciation will be provided. Therefore,
for cancelling the effect depreciation amounting to $ 8,000 shall be credited. The 2nd entry
shall be debiting revaluation loss by $ 9,000 and accumulated depreciation by $ 30,000.
Finally, equipment will be credited by $ 9,000 + $ 30,000 = $ 39,000.

Answer 4
As per the above calculation, on 1st July 2018 the revalued amount of machine is $
16,000. Revised amount of depreciation will be = ($ 16,000 - $ 5000) / 2 = $ 5,500. Hence,
the written down value of the machine as on 1st July 2019 will be = $ 16,000 – $ 5,500 = $
10,500. However the machine has been revalued at $ 13,000. Therefore, the revaluation gain
will be ($ 13,000 - $ 10,500) = $ 2,500.
Journal entries will be as follows –
Date Particulars Debit Credit
01.07.2019
30.06.2020
Equipment A/c
Revaluation Surplus A/c
(to record the revaluation of $13,000 - $10,500)

Answer 5
For recording the entries correctly the impairment loss amounted to $ 30,000 shall be
credited with debiting the accumulated depreciation with the same amount. Carrying amount
given as $ 240,000. Further, the recoverable amount of the asset will be higher among value
in use and fair value reduced by disposal cost costs. Value in use of the asset is $ 225,000 and
fair value reduced by disposal cost is $ 210,000. Hence, the recoverable amount will be $
225,000. As the carrying amount is $ 240,000 and recoverable amount is $ 225,000, the
amount of impairment loss will be ($ 240,000 - $ 225,000) = $ 15,000.
Carrying amount of asset as on 1st July 2018= $ 240,000
Depreciation for the year ended 30.06.2018= $ 2,40,000 /10 = $ 24000

Answer 6
Carrying value of asset as on 1st July 2018 = $ 240,000 - $ 24,000 = $ 216,000
Revalued amount of the asset is $ 240,000
Therefore, revaluation gain = ( $ 240,000 - $ 216,000) = $ 24,000 and it is to be transferred
into the revaluation reserve account and shall be recorded in income statement.
Journal entries will be as follows –
