Impact of Revaluation on Property, Plant, and Equipment
Revaluation of property, plant, and equipment is a common practice followed by companies to reflect their fair value in the financial statements. In this case, Amazing group had property, plant, and equipment with a book value of Rs 3,500,000 on 31st December 2019. The balance in revaluation surplus on that date was Rs 300,000. Another revaluation was carried out on the same date, resulting in different fair values.
Impact of Revaluation
1. Fair Value: Rs 3,700,000
- The fair value of the property, plant, and equipment after revaluation was Rs 3,700,000. This means that the assets have increased in value by Rs 200,000 (Rs 3,700,000 - Rs 3,500,000).
2. Fair Value: Rs 3,300,000
- The fair value of the property, plant, and equipment after revaluation was Rs 3,300,000. This means that the assets have decreased in value by Rs 200,000 (Rs 3,500,000 - Rs 3,300,000).
3. Fair Value: Rs 3,100,000
- The fair value of the property, plant, and equipment after revaluation was Rs 3,100,000. This means that the assets have decreased in value by Rs 400,000 (Rs 3,500,000 - Rs 3,100,000).
Journal Entries
The following journal entries need to be recorded to reflect the impact of revaluation on the financial statements:

Debit: Revaluation Surplus (Increase in Revaluation Surplus)
Credit: Property, Plant, and Equipment (Increase in Fair Value)
Debit: Property, Plant, and Equipment (Decrease in Fair Value)
Credit: Revaluation Surplus (Decrease in Revaluation Surplus)
Explanation: The first journal entry records the increase in the fair value of property, plant, and equipment. The revaluation surplus account is debited to increase the balance, and the property, plant, and equipment account is credited to reflect the increase in value. The second journal entry records the decrease in fair value. The property, plant, and equipment account is debited, and the revaluation surplus account is credited to reduce the balance.
2. Accumulated Depreciation
Debit: Accumulated Depreciation (Increase in Depreciation Expense)
Credit: Revaluation Surplus (Increase in Revaluation Surplus)
Debit: Revaluation Surplus (Decrease in Revaluation Surplus)
Credit: Accumulated Depreciation (Decrease in Depreciation Expense)
Explanation: The first journal entry records the increase in the depreciation expense due to the increased fair value of the assets. The accumulated depreciation account is debited, and the revaluation surplus account is credited to reflect the increase. The second journal entry records the decrease in the depreciation expense due to the decreased fair value.
