(1) Journal entry to account for the revaluation of the equipment on 30 June, 2020:
Working:
Cost of equipment = $320,000
Useful life = 7 years
Residual Value = $10,000
Depreciation per annum = ($320,000 - $10,000) / 7 years = $44,286
Depreciation up to 30th June, 2020 = $44,286 x 2 years = $88,572
Book value as on 30th June, 2020 = $320,000 - $88,572 = $231,428
On 30th June, 2020, it is revalued at $250,000.
Upward revaluation = $250,000 - $231,428 = $18,572
(2) Journal entries to account for the revaluation of the equipment of 30 June, 2021:
(or)
Working:
Also, on 1st July, 2020, the remaining useful life of the equipment is reassessed to 6 years.
Depreciation per annum = ($250,000 - $10,000) / 6 years = $40,000
Book value as on 30th June, 2021 = $250,000 - $40,000 = $210,000
On 30th June, 2021, it is revalued at $180,000.
Downward revaluation = $210,000 - $180,000 = $30,000
(3) Journal entries to account for the sale of the equipment of 30 June, 2022:
Working:
Depreciation for 2022 = ($180,000 - $10,000) / 5 years = $34,000
Book value as on 30th June, 2022 = $180,000 - $34,000 = $146,000
On 30th June, 2022, it is sold at $200,000.
Profit on sale = $200,000 - $146,000 = $54,000
