The company has revalued the asset on January 1, 2005 at $1,000,000, The carrying value on that date before revaluation is:
Cost of the asset $800,000
Accumulated depreciation @2% per year for 10 years $160,000
Net book value $640,000
Revaluation reserve is $360,000 computed as follows:
Revalued amount $1,000,000
Carrying value $640,000
Revaluation reserve $360,000
Now according to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment you can transfer the excess depreciation from the revaluation reserve to retained earnings (and not to income statement). In this case the excess depreciation is the difference between depreciation based on revalued amount and the depreciation on original cost.
Current Depreciation $25,000
Depreciation on cost $16,000
Excess depreciation $9,000
Balance Sheet will report
Property, Plant and Equipment $1,000,000
Accumulated depreciation $25,000
Net Book Value $975,000
Revaluation Reserve $360,000
Less Transfer to Retained earnings $9,000
Net balance $351,000
