Objective of the workpaper

For each property (one instance per property), enter the opening carrying amount, the appraisal value, the balances already recognised separately (prepaid rents; furniture included in the fair value is not recognised separately) and the movements, compute the amount to carry in assets, the fair value change (gain or loss) and prepare the profit or loss entry. A portfolio instance reconciles the opening and closing carrying amounts. Justify the choice of model and the reliability of fair value.

Fair value calculations

Calculations

IAS 40 §33IAS 40 §35IAS 40 §40IAS 40 §50IAS 40 §76

  • Amount carried in assets: appraisal value − balances recognised separately

    Calculation

    5,480,000

    Appraisal value at the closing date ; − Balances already recognised separately and included in the appraisal (prepaid rents; do not enter furniture included in the fair value)

  • Fair value change (signed): closing value − opening value − additions

    Calculation

    480,000

    Amount carried in assets: appraisal value − balances recognised separately ; − Opening carrying amount of the property ; − Acquisitions and capitalised expenditure of the period for this property

  • Fair value gain to recognise in profit or loss

    Calculation

    480,000

    Amount carried in assets: appraisal value − balances recognised separately ; − Opening carrying amount of the property ; − Acquisitions and capitalised expenditure of the period for this property

  • Fair value loss to recognise in profit or loss

    Calculation

    Amount carried in assets: appraisal value − balances recognised separately ; − Opening carrying amount of the property ; − Acquisitions and capitalised expenditure of the period for this property

  • Closing carrying amount rebuilt

    Calculation

    Carrying amount of the portfolio at the opening date ; Carrying amount of the portfolio reported at the closing date ; Acquisitions of the portfolio ; Fair value gains of the portfolio ; − Fair value losses of the portfolio ; Transfers into the portfolio ; − Disposals of the portfolio (carrying amount)

  • Reconciliation difference: reported value − rebuilt value

    Calculation

Judgements on the model and reliability

Judgment

IAS 40 §30IAS 40 §53IAS 40 §54IAS 40 §55

  • Choice of model

    JudgmentRequired

    Fair value model

    Fair value model / Cost model

    Rule and cross-reference: the entity chooses the fair value model or the cost model and applies it to all its investment property (IAS 40, para. 30).

  • Rationale: accounting policy chosen and application to all properties

    TextRequired

  • Reliability of fair value

    JudgmentRequired

    Fair value reliably determinable

    Fair value reliably determinable / Exception: fair value not reliably determinable on a continuing basis

    Rule and cross-reference: fair value is presumed reliably determinable; the exception is rare and concerns the acquisition of a property whose fair value cannot be determined reliably on a continuing basis (IAS 40, para. 53).

  • Rationale: sources of the value, market, appraiser

    TextRequired
