(Q2)
When
does the revaluation surplus of PPE, accumulated in equity section, decrease?
|
Revaluation surplus is transferred to retained earnings,
--> when the asset is derecognised. |
|
|
Revaluation surplus is decreased,
--> if the carrying amount of PPE is larger than fair value at
revaluation date. |
|
|
If the carrying amount > fair value,
--> carrying amount is decreased to fair
value.
If the asset has revaluation surplus in equity section,
--> a decrease in carrying amount reduces revaluation surplus.
If the revaluation surplus of the asset has zero balance,
--> a decrease in carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss. |
