Inputs

Inputs

  • Asset of the revalued class (nature, reference market)

    TextRequired

  • Revaluation date

    DateRequired

  • Carrying amount before revaluation

    NumberRequired

    300,000

    Para. 80: on revaluation, accumulated amortisation is either adjusted consistently with the gross amount or eliminated against the gross amount. This workpaper uses elimination: the change is made to the gross amount of an asset that is not amortised or whose accumulated amortisation has been eliminated.

  • Fair value determined by reference to an active market

  • Revaluation surplus balance for this asset before the transaction
