REVALUATION

Measurement of PPE
• Initially, an item of PPE that qualifies for recognition shall be
measured at cost.

• After recognition, an entity shall choose either the COST or


REVALUATION model as an accounting policy and shall apply that
policy to the entire class of PPE.
COST MODEL
REVALUATION MODEL
Frequency of Revaluation
• When the fair value of a revalued asset differs materially from the
carrying amount, a further revaluation is necessary.

• Some PPE may experience significant and volatile changes in fair


value thus necessitating annual revaluation.

• Such frequent or annual revaluations are unnecessary for PPE with


only insignificant changes in fair value. Instead, revaluation every 3 to
5 years may be sufficient.
Revaluation of all items in an entire class
• When PPE are revalued, the entire class of PPE should be revalued.

• A class of PPE is a grouping of assets of a similar nature and use in an


entity’s operations.

• Example: Land, Building, Machinery, Motor Vehicles, Furniture &


Fixtures, Office Equipment, Ships, Aircrafts
Basis of Revaluation

Fair Value – The fair Depreciated


value is determined by Replacement Cost –
appraisal normally Where market value is not
undertaken by professional available, depreciated cost
qualified valuers shall be used.
Definition of Terms
• Revalued Amount is the fair value or depreciated replacement cost of
the item of PPE.

• Fair Value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to
transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants at the measurement date.

• Depreciated replacement cost is the replacement cost of the PPE


minus the corresponding accumulated depreciation. This amount is
actually the sound value of the asset.
Definition of Terms
• Replacement Cost is the current “purchase price” of the PPE.

• Carrying Amount is equal to historical cost minus the corresponding


accumulated depreciation

• Revaluation Surplus is equal to the fair value or depreciated


replacement cost minus the carrying amount of the PPE. This is also
known as revaluation increment.
Definition of Terms
• Appreciation or Revaluation increase is the excess of the replacement
cost over the historical cost.

• Appreciation minus the corresponding accumulated depreciation


equals the net appreciation or revaluation surplus.
Two approaches in recording revaluation
• Proportional approach – The accumulated depreciation at the date of
revaluation is restated proportionately with the change in the gross
carrying amount of the asset so that the carrying amount of the asset
after revaluation equals the revalued amount.

• Elimination Approach – The accumulated depreciation is eliminated


against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount
restated to the revalued amount of the asset.
Accounting Treatment of Revaluation
Surplus
• Component of other comprehensive income.

• The revaluation surplus is allocated or realized over the remaining


useful life of the asset and classified through retained earnings.

• The whole surplus may be realized on the retirement or disposal of the


asset.
Disclosures related to revaluation
• The effective date of revaluation
• Whether an independent valuer was involved.
• Method and significant assumptions applied in estimated fair
value
• The extent to which the fair value was determined directly by
reference to observable prices in an active market or recent
market transactions on an arm’s length terms or was
estimated using other valuation techniques.
Disclosures related to revaluation
• Historical cost and carrying amount of each class of revalued
PPE

• Revaluation Surplus, indicating the movement for the period


and any restrictions on the distribution of the balance to
shareholders.
