FAQs on Revaluation Account - Crash Course of Accountancy - Class 12 - Commerce

1. What is a revaluation account in commerce?
Ans. A revaluation account in commerce is an account that is used to record any changes in the value of assets and liabilities of a business. It is created when there is a change in the value of fixed assets, investments, or liabilities, and serves to adjust the books of accounts to reflect the new values.
2. How is a revaluation account different from a profit and loss account?
Ans. A revaluation account in commerce is different from a profit and loss account in that it is used to record changes in the value of assets and liabilities, whereas a profit and loss account is used to record revenue and expenses. The revaluation account helps in adjusting the balance sheet, while the profit and loss account helps in calculating the net profit or loss of a business.
3. When is a revaluation account created in commerce?
Ans. A revaluation account in commerce is created when there is a change in the value of fixed assets, investments, or liabilities of a business. This can happen due to various reasons, such as an increase or decrease in market value, changes in economic conditions, or revaluation of assets and liabilities during a merger or acquisition.
4. How is a revaluation account presented in the financial statements?
Ans. A revaluation account in commerce is presented as a separate account in the balance sheet of a business. It is usually shown below the fixed assets or investments section, and its balance represents the net increase or decrease in the value of assets and liabilities. The revaluation account is also used to adjust the values of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet.
5. What are the implications of a revaluation account on a company's financial performance?
Ans. A revaluation account in commerce can have several implications on a company's financial performance. If there is an increase in the value of assets or a decrease in the value of liabilities, it can lead to an increase in the company's net worth and improve its financial position. Conversely, if there is a decrease in the value of assets or an increase in the value of liabilities, it can negatively impact the company's financial performance and reduce its net worth.
